1.3 Safe Operation
Keep all the following in mind as you use the dynamometer.
The system capacity is equal to the rating of the
dynamometers. The shackle rating should not be used to
determine lift capacity of the system.
The shackles are rated in metric tonnes. Thus the 12-tonne
shackles are rated to 26,450 lbf and are suitable for use on
the 25,000 lbf dynamometer.
Any zeroed deadload must be considered as part of the
ultimate load.
Although this instrument has a substantial overload
protection rating, the instrument should not be used above
the rated capacity. Doing so can significantly impact fatigue
life of the instrument and cause premature and abrupt
failure. If a higher capacity reading is needed, Dillon insists
that a larger instrument be used.
Safety is always a concern in overhead lifting and
tensioning applications. To limit your liability always insist
upon factory supplied shackles and pins and factory tested
and certified safe optional equipment. All DILLON products
are designed to meet the published Safe Working Load
(SWL) and Ultimate Safety Factor (USF) standards of the
United States Military. All CE marked models meet the SWL
and ULL (Ultimate Load Limit) requirements of the
European Machinery Directive.
Do not grind, stamp, drill or deform the metal on the
dynamometer body in any way. Protect the instrument from
impact in use and storage.
Any significant damage or deformation to the loading
element is cause for evaluation by Dillon.
Relieve all torsional and off axis loads.
Apply load in the center of the shackle bow with this
instrument.
Off center loading results in substandard performance.
Instrument requires time to stabilize when changing
temperatures.
WARNING: If you overload this
dynamometer you could suffer severe
injuries or death. The total load on the
dynamometer should NEVER exceed the
rated capacity.
