GENERAL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
THE CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS, SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS AND
USER INSTRUCTION SHEETS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS EILON ENGINEERING
PRODUCT.
Products are supplied with the express understanding that the purchaser and/or the
user are thoroughly familiar with their correct application and proper use.
Eilon Engineering will assume no responsibility for the misuse or misapplication of
any of its products.
In addition to these guidelines, the user must also comply with general safe
operating practice, and when using the systems for weighing during lifting, the user
must also comply with safe operating practice during lifting.
The load limit rating (or “capacity”) indicates the maximum force or load a system
can carry under normal working conditions. Overloading, or placing a load on the
system above its rated capacity is dangerous and is therefore STRICTLY
PROHIBITED, except during annual safety testing of the system, to be performed
by qualified personnel, when overload of up to 25% of rated capacity is permitted.
Eilon Engineering will accept no liability for damage caused by the product being
used in excess of the working load limit (capacity of the system) or from abuse.
Opening or attempting to open the systems and, needless to say, any attempt to
repair the systems by unauthorised personnel (without written authorisation) will
nullify the warranty as well as the manufacturer's liability, and could be dangerous.
When measuring loads using shifted zero or tare, the actual loading is the indicated
value (the readout)
plus
the value of the shifted zero or tare.
The system is designed for occasional, not continuous, use. If the system is to be
integrated with equipment that performs continuous loading over extensive periods
of time, then use of a system with at least 30% higher rated capacity (load limit) is
necessary. For example: a 3t crane should be used with a 5t load system.
The system is designed for static loading. Eilon Engineering or other qualified
engineering personnel should be consulted before using the system to measure
dynamic loads.
Avoid bending, side loading and off-axis loading.
