Electrical Safety


All machines are tested for electrical safety prior to being dispatched.


The tests are for Earth Bond and Insulation.


It is recommended that these tests be repeated annually or whenever safety critical parts and connections are replaced.


Fire Safety


Outer casings of the majority of the components used are made of heat resistant material.


Excessive electrical overload conditions may generate sufficient heat to ignite chemical substances within the components themselves or adjacent components, harnesses etc..

NOTE: It is imperative that only identical value components are used as replacements for the original equipment supplied and that correct polarity of assembly is observed when applicable.


Materials which fall into the Firs Hazard Category are:


       Chipboard - Releases Formaldehyde when ignited, causes discomfort to the eyes and mucous membranes.

       Plastic Laminates - Plastic and rubber mouldings, wire insulation etc.., release noxious fumes which if inhaled may cause irritation depending on the sensitivity of the individual.

       Glass - Extreme heat will cause the glass to crack thereby causing injury.

       Electrolytic Capacitors and Batteries may explode if subjected to fire.


Disposal of Hazardous Components


As a general rule, electronic components should not be incinerated due to the possible danger of noxious fumes being released, or components exploding due to a build-up of internal pressures by expanding gases.


Gas Springs


Under no circumstances should the gas spring be opened or subjected to excessive tensions.


Gas springs should be disposed of safely and not heated or incinerated.


DO NOT LUBRICATE GAS SPRINGS
