7.7.2 Lever Arm Tester Maintenance
Knife Edges: Check quarterly or after heavy loading. If they are damaged, rotate to a new edge. Replace
when all four edges have been used.
V-Blocks: Regrind or replace if damaged. The lever arm must be recalibrated once the V-blocks have
been removed, replaced, or reworked.
Leveling: Check the machine annually using a level on the upper crossbeam.
Lubrication: A high temperature lubricant can be used if high temperature seizing is experienced.
NOTE: Avoid excessive lubrication.
Storage: Coat the knife-edges and V-blocks on tester arms and couplings with a thin coat of oil to
prevent corrosion.
NOTE: Avoid excessive lubrication because lubricants attract dust to the equipment.
CAUTION: Do not overload the machine. Observe rated capacity on data tag.
CAUTION: Do not overload load train components. Elevated temperatures lower their
capabilities. A load train is no stronger than its weakest element.
CAUTION: Provide snubbers and/or stop nuts on the elements of the load train, where
necessary, to prevent damage to accessory equipment in the event of a specimen failure.
CAUTION: Stack weights on weight pan with the slots alternating to prevent tipping.
CAUTION: Do not jam threads to the bottom on load train components. Back off one half-turn
to prevent misalignment. Thread engagement should be 1 ¼ times the diameter of the thread.
CAUTION: Check the tester daily for any signs of problems with either the currently running
tests or test equipment.
CAUTION: Match the serial numbers on test frames, support blocks, and lever arms when
assembling multiple testers.
