Chapter: Assemble the load string
86 M10-17313-EN
Install grips
Before you begin, check the following:
• There is sufficient space between the load cell and the load frame base to install the
grips.
• The crosshead is stationary.
• The frame is in the disabled state, i.e. the white LED above the DISABLED indicator
on the frame control panel is illuminated.
• The crosshead limit stops on the load frame are set to prevent the upper and lower
grips from colliding with each other (refer to “Set the crosshead limit stops” on
page 104).
• The mating surfaces of the grips, load cell and the base adapter are free of dirt or
debris.
Refer to Figure 20 on page 87 when following this procedure.
1. For the upper grip, insert the adapter on the grip into the female clevis socket (1 in
Figure 20) on the load cell adapter.
2. Align the clevis holes (2 in Figure 20)and insert the clevis pin (3 in Figure 20)
through the holes.
3. Secure the clevis pin in position with the clevis pin clip (4 in Figure 20).
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to install the lower grip onto the load frame base adapter.
5. When both grips are installed, follow the procedure to preload the load string (refer
to “Preload the load string” on page 87).
