Specimen removal

1. When the test is complete or the specimen is to be removed from the test

space, change the servo control mode to stroke control and retract the
actuator.

2. Turn the hydraulic service manifold (HSM) off.

3. Open the front door of the frame.

4. Remove the extensometers from the specimen, and insert the zero pins. The

zero pins help protect the extensometers from inadvertent over-travel.

5. Remove the specimen.
