To unload the load string:
1. Install the strong specimen.
2. Increase the load on the load string to the chosen preload value.
3. Loosen all the locknuts on the grips and any intermediate couplings.
4. Reduce the load to zero.
5. Remove the specimen.
The load string is now unloaded and all the locknuts are loose so that you can change any
component.
When you next need to change grips or any other part of the load string, the locknuts will be
too tight to loosen by hand. Follow the unload procedure (āTo unload the load string:ā on
page 2-18).
