GENERAL

UNPACKING AND SETTING UP

1. Carefully unpack the test stand from the box and inspect for any damage. Check the
contents to ensure that you have received a test stand complete with all accessories – see
the list of included items below.

2. Remove the foam from the middle portion of the test stand and remove the plywood caps
by unscrewing the pair of screws at each end. For the TST and TSTM models, install the
base with four 5/16- 18 x 1” screws and the top cap with two 1/4-20 x 3/4” screws. For the
TSTH and TSTMH models, install the two column caps with two 1/4-20 x 3/4” screws per cap.
Save all packaging materials for any future shipping.

3. Place the stand on a firm, flat and level working surface free from vibration to ensure
accurate readings. It is recommended that the test stand be secured to a workbench – see
your model’s “Operation” section for further details.
