Initial Installation
Remove the packing list and verify that all parts have been received. Normally
you will receive one crate comprised of compression frame and a calibrated
load ring (H-4454.100) 10,000lbf capacity, and accessories for CBR penetration.
Set the machine base up at the place it is to be used in the laboratory and
then check that it is level by placing a spirit level on the platen. If it is not level,
adjust the feet of the machine.
