Press the Handset Enable button on the handset.

2. If necessary, lower the lower crosshead.

This provides clearance for the actuator. Use the Lower Crosshead Down button. Lower the crosshead
only enough to provide clearance for the actuator, as you will adjust the lower crosshead for specimen
installation in the next section.

Note: If you reach the bottom of the crosshead travel, the interlock will set. Clear the interlock
by pressing the Handset Enable button twice, and then raise the lower crosshead with the Lower
Crosshead Up button.

3. Move the actuator to the bottom of its travel.
