5. If you have a force transducer that is mounted to the crosshead using a preloader collar, perform the
following substeps.
a) Loosen the six jack bolts or setscrews in 1/4 turn steps to remove most of the tension on the preloader
collar, following a standard crisscross torque sequence.
b) If your preloader collar has jackbolts, remove and lubricate them one at a time. Lubricate the washer
underneath the jackbolt. After you reinstall the jackbolt, tighten it enough to keep the force transducer
pulled firmly against the crosshead.
c) If your preloader collar has captive setscrews, unscrew them one at a time. Lubricate the washer
underneath the setscrew. Then retighten the setscrew just enough to keep the force transducer pulled
firmly against the crosshead.
