Hand crush or pinch point hazard. Stay alert and be aware of possible moving
parts. Keep clear of areas noted with this icon.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) symbol means that
the controller and its electronic parts must not be disposed of as unsorted
municipal waste. Proper disposal is required by approved electronic waste
collection agencies. Customers in the EC region who desire to return an
end-of-life controller and its electronic parts are encouraged to contact your
local MTS Systems Sales/Service Office for instructions.
You should follow internal safety policies for safe disposal of parts of the
machine. Refer to MSDS for oils and greases that are used on the machine.
Energy Isolation/Lockout/Tagout
Identify Lockout/Tagout Points
The customer is responsible for establishing a program of energy control procedures, employee training,
and periodic inspections to ensure that, before any employee performs service or maintenance on a
machine or component (where unexpected energizing, startup, or release of stored energy could occur
and cause injury), the machine or component is isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative
using a supply disconnect (energy isolating) device. The purchase, installation, and use of energy isolating,
lockout, and tagout devices is a customer responsibility.
Lockout devices utilize a positive means, such as a lock, to hold an energy isolating device in the safe
position and prevent energizing a machine or component. Tagout devices consist of a prominent warning
device, such as a tag and means of attachment, which can be securely fastened to an energy isolating
device in accordance with an established procedure, to indicate that the energy isolating device and the
equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.
The purpose of energy-isolating, lockout, and tagout devices is to provide a positive and effective means
of isolating the test system from the various power sources associated with your system. These power
sources can include (but are not limited to) electrical, hydraulic, water, gas, and air supplies. Each device,
when installed, should provide a single point in the supply circuit where complete system isolation from
supply power or pressure is accomplished when the device is used to interrupt the circuit.
It is important that you are able to isolate the system from its power supplies whenever personnel must
work in proximity to the system. Electricity and heated, cooled, or pressurized fluids or gases are all potential
hazards and the use of isolating devices, lockout, and tagout valves and switches is recommended. In
association with using isolating devices, it is likely that a time interval must be observed to allow latent
pressures, heat, or cold to dissipate from components before working with them
