OPERATION
The slider’s position is adjustable along the column in order to engage and
disengage the test sample. Move the slider lever clockwise to lower the slider’s
position closer to the torque plate. The slider may be locked into position by
tightening the friction brake knob located on the opposite side of the slider.
The test stand may be operated by motor or by hand. To begin a motorized
test, use the Control Unit to operate the test stand (see instructions on the next
page). For fine manual adjustment turn the knob on the motor drive in the
desired direction.
