Semiannual
maintenance
1. Remove system covers and vacuum or blow out any dust or debris from
inside the test frame.
2. Grease ball screws at the crosshead fittings—use # 2 hardness white lithium
grease available from MTS (Lubriplate no. 1200-2 multipurpose grease).
3. Verify speed and position accuracy of the frame. See the TestWorks
software manual for further details.
Note MTS offers annual maintenance and calibration plans. It is strongly
recommended that you enroll in one of these plans. Contact your sales
engineer for more information.
General cleaning
Clean your machine as often as needed. Use a mild detergent or cleaning fluid to
wash the extrusions, base, crosshead, and rubber mat. Keep the rubber mats free
of sharp debris, oil, or chemicals which might damage the rubber.
