Site requirements
Proper site preparation is imperative so that the testing system operates in accordance
with its specifications.
Frame location
The load frame must not be located against a wall or other object that interferes with air
ventilation around the frame. Proper air ventilation is required to dissipate the heat
generated from the frame base.
Figure 3 on page 26 shows the minimum clearance necessary on each side and to the
rear of the frame to allow for adequate ventilation and periodic access for service.
The clearance to the rear is necessary to allow service without removing any installed
large accessories.
Figure 3. Minimum clearances in mm (in)
Floor loading
The supporting floor must be checked for its weight loading and be able to support the
weight of the load frame and any other accessory parts that may have been purchased.
