D. Installation
D.1 Unpack and Set Up
1. Carefully remove the shipping crate and packing materials from the tester. Do not discard the packing
materials until all items on the invoice have been accounted for.
2. Use an overhead crane or forklift to remove the test frame and control console from the pallet and position
it in the desired location.
3. Position the test frame and control console to allow ample room for maintenance.
4. Adjust the Isolator Pads on the test frame to approximately level and to provide even support. Verify that
the frame is level by using a level front to back and side to side. Also check the upper crosshead.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the isolator mount pads to slide on the floor while moving the
tester. They are not designed to accept slide loading. Damage to the pads may result.
NOTE:
When moving the test frame, use moving blankets between components and the
material handling devices and follow accepted moving practices to avoid damage to the
testing machine.
5. Provide electric power from a grounded source. This may be by use of a grounded line cord or by hard
wiring the tester. Follow the National Electric Code requirements and any other local codes in effect. Be sure
the voltage is correct.
CAUTION:
Before energizing the electrical power to the testing machine, turn off all power
switches and place all controls in an off or neutral position.
D.2 Lever Arm Assembly Installation
1. Position the knife-edge support block assembly to the top of the test frame. Align the match marks and
install the locating dowels.
2. Install bolts and tighten.
CAUTION:
Match the serial numbers on the test frames with the support blocks and lever
arms when assembling multiple testers.
3. Remove or pivot the lever arm safety guards to the side.
4. Check that the knife-edge and V-block mating surfaces are free of dirt, corrosion, or other debris.
