How to Install a Grip in a Load Frame

1. Adjust the load frame to allow adequate room to install the grips.

2. Make sure the load frame mounting adapter, mounting pin, and

mounting dowel are clean. Remove any dust or particles that may
scratch the mating surfaces.

3. Install the grip mounting pin into the load frame mounting adapter.

4. Align the holes of the mounting pin and the load frame mounting

adapter and slide the mounting dowel into the hole.

5. Tighten the locking collar sufficiently to ensure there is no slack

during testing.
