Preface
Safety first!
Before you attempt to move an actuator, read and understand all safety
information. Safety information specific to the actuator can be found throughout
the manual. General safety information for MTS products and test systems can be
found in the yellow Safety manual (MTS part number 100-003-805).
Improper installation, of an actuator can result in hazardous conditions that can
cause personal injury or death, and damage to your equipment. It is very
important that you remain aware of hazards that apply to your system.

Preface
Preface
Conventions
The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are used in your
MTS manuals.
Hazard conventions
Hazard notices are embedded in this manual and contain safety information that
is specific to the task to be performed. Hazard notices immediately precede the
step or procedure that may lead to an associated hazard. Read all hazard notices
carefully and follow the directions that are given. Three different levels of hazard
notices may appear in your manuals. Following are examples of all three levels.
Note
Danger notices
DANGER
For general safety information, see the Safety manual included with your
system.
Danger notices indicate the presence of a hazard which will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the danger is ignored. For
example:
Do not place any part of your body in the path of a moving actuator.
A crush zone exists between the actuator and any equipment in the path of
its movement. Movement of an actuator, even under normal test conditions,
is usually sudden and with high force. Severe injury or death will occur
when any part of your body is crushed by the actuator.
Keep all parts of your body away from a moving actuator. If you must work on or
near an actuator, take all necessary steps to remove all hydraulic pressure from
the actuator.
Warning notices
WARNING
Warning notices indicate the presence of a hazard which can cause severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.
For example:
Caution notices
CAUTION
Caution notices indicate the presence of a hazard which will or can cause minor
personal injury, cause minor equipment damage, or endanger test integrity if the
caution is ignored. For example:
Preface
Other conventions
Notes
Important notes
Using multiple instances of the scope (on multiple stations) can slow
system response time.
Important notes provide information critical to operating your system, but not so
critical that it involves injury or equipment. Important notes should be read. For
example:

Control names
Cross references in

Preface
Contacting MTS
MTS can help you more efficiently if you have pertinent information about your
test system available when you call.
You will be asked for your site number and system number.
The site number contains your company number and identifies your equipment
type (material testing, simulation, and so forth). The number is usually written on
a label on your MTS equipment before the system leaves MTS. If you do not
have an MTS site number or do not know your site number, you should contact
your MTS sales engineer.
Example site number:
C84166-W01
When you have more than one MTS system, the system (or job) number
identifies which system you are calling about. You can find your job number in
the papers sent to you when you ordered your system.
Example system (job) number:
US1.12345
If you have called regarding this problem before, we can recall your file. You will
need to tell us the:
Describe the problem you are experiencing and know the answers to the
following questions:
Were any hardware or software changes made to the system before the
problem started?
What are the model and serial numbers of the suspect equipment?

Preface
Contacting MTS
Be prepared to
troubleshoot
Names of other software that are running on your computer, such as screen
savers, keyboard enhancers, print drivers, and so forth
Call from a telephone close to the system so that you can try implementing
suggestions made over the phone.
If you are not familiar with all aspects of the equipment operation, have an
experienced user nearby to assist you.
Your call will be registered by a HELPLine agent if you are calling within the
United States or Canada. In addition to asking for your site number, the agent
may also ask to verify your name, company, company address, and the phone
number where you can normally be reached.
Prepare yourself in case we need to call you back:
MTS logs and tracks all calls to ensure that you receive assistance and that action
is taken regarding your problem or request. If you have questions about the status
of your problem or have additional information to report, please contact MTS
again.

WARNING
Ensure that your slings, lifting shackles and crane have a working capability
greater than the weight of the actuator and any installed accessories (such as
manifolds, swivels, force transducers, etc.).
Initially, lift the actuator only high enough to ensure proper balance.
Operate the crane smoothly to avoid sudden shocks to the slings or swinging
of the actuator.

in this manual for information about contacting MTS.
CAUTION
3. Refer to the figures and tables in the section Shackle Mounting Locations
beginning on page 15 for the location and size of the lift holes for the
actuator you are installing.
4. Lubricate the threads on each shackle with a thin coat of an anti-seizing
compound such as Molykote g-n paste. Install the shackles in the lift holes.
Refer to the table, Shackle Specifications, on page 14. Torque each
shackle to the value specified in the table for the shackle being used.
