Raise and Lock the Bell

Note: Skip this section if the bell is up, locked in place, and you've turned load unit hydraulic pressure
off.

Warning

:

Opening a Triaxial Cell that still has pressure could spray you with debris and confining fluid.

You could be hurt and your Triaxial Cell damaged.

Before opening the Triaxial Cell, make sure the Pressure Intensifier’s Confining Fluid Output
valve is Open. The Triaxial Cell is still pressurized if its bell starts rising as you undo the last
cap screws.

1. Unscrew and set aside any sealing cap screws still left in the bell.
