MTS Landmark Floor Standing - Manual (Page 69)

Caution:
Grips are designed to operate within a range of hydraulic pressure.
Too much pressure can damage both the grips and the specimen.
Do not adjust grip pressure higher than the grip rating. To determine the correct hydraulic
pressure to apply to your grips before adjusting the Pressure control, see your grip manual.
5. Adjust the pressure control for the desired hydraulic pressure.
6. If you exceed the desired pressure setting, adjust the Pressure control counterclockwise 1/2 turn. If the
pressure setting exceeds 21 MPa (3000 psi), cycle (clamp and unclamp) one of the grips. Return to Step
5.
