1 UNPACKING AND SETTING UP

1. Carefully unpack the stand and inspect for any damage. Check to make sure that you have received a
complete test stand with all accessories – see List of Included Items. Save original packaging
materials in case future transportation is required.

2. Install the loading lever. The position of the loading lever can be adjusted as required – see the
Operation section for your particular model.

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 work bench – see Operation section.

3 OPERATION

1. Mount the test stand to a firm, flat, and level working surface for maximum
safety and accuracy using four 5/16 screws (not included). Use the included
mounting hole drill template to accurately drill the holes. Testing can take
place without securing the test stand in such a manner, however, it is strongly
recommended that the stand be secured, especially for large forces.

2. Install a force gauge onto the gauge plate with four thumb screws. Mark-10
force gauges mount directly to the stand without adapters.

3. Install any needed attachments, including grips, adapters, and other
materials necessary for your test sample. Make sure these items are set up
in a secure and safe manner.

4. Zero out the force gauge, then begin the test by rotating the lever clockwise
for compression or counter-clockwise for tension.

The loading lever can be adjusted to allow for ease of operation. Reposition the
loading lever by removing the knob and realigning the lever pin in the mounting
hub.

The rack brake can be set by loosening the wing nut, positioning the rack to the desired location and re­tightening the wing nut.

The clearance on the rack can be set by adjusting the four set screws using the tools provided.

The travel stops can be adjusted in 0.5” [12.7 mm] increments along the rack by moving the blocks to the
desired location and tightening two screws. Fine adjustments can be made using adjusting screws on the
housing and locking the jam nuts.

Note: To maintain smooth functioning of the stand, avoid overloads and repetitive shock loads.

3.1 Reversible Gauge Mounting Plate

The gauge mounting plate is reversible for compatibility with force gauges of
all capacities. Reverse the plate by removing two screws, then flip it around
and reinstall.

3.2 Optional Equipment

Digital Travel Display Kit

6" [150 mm] travel, 0.0005" [0.01 mm] resolution, SPC output for automated
data collection. Requires travel stops kit. To output data to a PC via USB,
use communication adapter part no. MU100 and 09-1066 cable.
