Note:

The limit stops are not intended to be the routine method to end every test.

Warning

:

Moving the limit stop when the limit is tripped disables the hardware interlock and may result
in unexpected motion.

Unexpected motion may cause injury or equipment damage.

Do not move the limit stop while the crosshead is tripping the limit. If you inadvertently move
the limit with the crosshead contacting it, the crosshead may begin to move. If this happens,
use the Emergency Stop button to stop the crosshead.

1. Set the upper travel limit stop just above the expected maximum crosshead travel.

Loosen the stop by turning counterclockwise. Move the stop to the desired position, and then tighten
by turning clockwise.

2. Set the lower travel limit stop just below the expected minimum crosshead travel.
