10.1 Periodic Inspections
Shimadzu offers periodic inspection services to ensure the testing machine functions reliably
for a long time. To ensure traceability, it is recommended that the testing machine be inspected
and serviced about once a year.
This service is performed on-site by Shimadzu trained service engineers using documents
provided by Shimadzu.
Shimadzu also offers validation services according to official standards as well. For more
information, contact your Shimadzu sales or service representative.
Shimadzu cannot warrant products repaired, adjusted, or otherwise serviced by a company
other than Shimadzu or its designated agents.

3) Reset the emergency stop button by turning the moveable portion in the direction
indicated by arrows.
2. Crosshead Stroke Limit Switches
1) While pressing a jog button to move the crosshead, push up on the upper slide limit and
