Preface
Safety first! Before you attempt to use your MTS equipment in your test system, read and
understand the Safety manual. Like an automobile, your test system is very
useful—but if misused, it is capable of deadly force. You should not be afraid of
your test system, but you should always maintain a healthy respect for it.
Improper installation, operation, or maintenance of MTS equipment in your test
system can result in hazardous conditions that can cause severe personal injury or
death, and damage to your equipment and specimen. Again, read and understand
the Safety manual before you continue. It is very important that you remain aware
of hazards that apply to your test system.
