Position the Crosshead and Actuator for Initial
Setup
In this section, you will raise the crosshead high enough so that the actuator cannot contact anything even
if it goes to full extension. Next, you will retract the actuator to ensure that you have the correct motion
polarity and so that you know where the actuator end point is. Finally, you will position the actuator for the
type of test that you are doing.
1. Raise the crosshead high enough so that the actuator cannot contact anything even if it goes to full
extension.
