• Verification of crosshead travel speed • Verification of encoder distance accuracy • Verification and re-calibration of load cell sensor(s) to ASTM E4 standard 7.1.3 CLEANING Starrett recommends that your FMM force testing system be cleaned weekly or more often if operated in a non-laboratory environment. WARNING • Disconnect power to your FMM force measurement tester and the L1 tablet before cleaning these instruments. • Use a moist, lint-free cloth with very mild detergent (if required) to clean the outside surfaces of your FMM force measurement system. • Read the Care and Cleaning instructions for the L1 tablet and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. CAUTION • Do not clean with solvents or abrasive cleaning agents. • Do not apply excessive amounts of detergent cleaning agents. Exercise caution when using water or mild cleaning detergents to prevent fluids from getting into electrical contacts or rotating machinery. • Do not use oil to lubricate. • Use low-pressure air to remove dust and debris from tester surfaces. Always protect the column and internal machinery components from dust and debris from getting inside the column. 7.1.4 LUBRICATION Lubrication of the internal ball screw should be performed by authorized Starrett Service Representatives only. 7.2 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES These general maintenance procedures may be followed for performing the following maintenance checks.

To release the Emergency Stop, press and turn clockwise.The Emergency Stop switch should return to its OFF position. 7.0 MAINTENANCE Your FMM force measurement tester is a precision instrument designed to perform accurate force measurement testing for a variety of applications. Starrett recommends that you have your system maintained by a factory-trained Starrett Service Representative at least annually. If your system is used in a more demanding application or in a harsh environment, it may be wise to have maintenance performed more frequently. WARNING Dangerous voltages and internal rotating machinery inside the machine may cause bodily injury or damage to the equipment. Personnel not trained in the service of Starrett force testing systems should not remove the covers to gain access to any internal components within your system. 7.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Starrett recommends that you periodically inspect, clean and lubricate your FMM force measurement system.
