Installation
Hardness Tester must be installed in a dust and vibration free environment. Mount tester to a support bench or table
for a load of at least 500 lbs.
1. Position tester on support surface as desired, mark location of the 4 mounting holes in the corners of the frame

2. Drill 10mm (7/16") diameter holes at the 4 mounting hole locations. Drill a 2" diameter hole for the elevation
screw.
Caution: The hardness tester will not open to its full capacity unless the elevation screw is allowed to pass
through a hole on the support surface.
3. Bolt tester to support surface securely using the 4 each hex head bolts or use longer 10-1.5mm bolts if required.
Be sure tester is level both front/back and left/right to 0.002 in/in.
