After placing the loading device on the metal ball in the centre of the sensor
dome, unlock the transportation lock of the drop weight by pulling the orange
knob. The transportation lock should only be unlocked immediately prior to
a test being performed, as uncontrolled movements of the weight may cause
injury or damage to the device or its surroundings.
Ensure that the transportation lock is unlocked before each drop.

lock is still pushed in, damage to the device may occur. Damage caused by
improper use is not covered by the device warranty.
Regularly check that the transportation lock of the drop weight is functioning
properly. If you notice signs of wear, stop using the device immediately. Send
the device back to TERRATEST GmbH for the transportation lock to be repai-
red or replaced.
