Chapter 2: General safety rules
Always put safety first! It is your responsibility!
It is extremely important to stay alert and to know how each item works. Read this part for
yourself, and make sure all your colleagues who will be potentially working on the Series
1780 have carefully read this guide before using the dynamometer.
This part will not cover details about how to assemble the Series 1780 Dynamometer, or how
to connect the electrical components. For these operations, please refer to their proper
chapters within this manual. However, you should still read through this chapter before
moving on to the next steps.
The following instructions apply on both operating and maintenance personnel and must be
followed during all phases of operations, service, testing and repair of this instrument.
To ensure safety, please follow these instructions:
1. Before construction make sure all your tools are in good condition and don’t need to
be replaced. Learn the tools applications, limitations, and possible hazards.
2. Inspect all fasteners before every experiment and as often as possible.
3. Make sure to use properly rated cables for the power.
4. Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
5. Always keep your work area clean, do not work on surfaces that are dirty with oil.
Small metal chips may be blown up and hit the propeller by accident. Clean your
testing room before every test.
6. Respect the Murphy’s law. If you think something might go wrong, it will.
7. Make sure you are dressed for safety. The load cell parts may be sharp, wear gloves
all along the assembly. Do not wear jewelry or inappropriate clothing when operating
the tool.
8. Do not let children around the Series 1780 dynamometer.
9. Never force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed or outside its
specifications. Using the tool outside of its official specifications will void the
warranty and is at your own risk.
10. Do not use or assemble the tool alone.
