3-9-3 CHANGING AND/OR CLAMPING
SPECIMEN CLAMPS
The available specimen clamps are all clamped or
removed in the same way.
• To change the specimen clamping system,
press the clamping lever (fig. 33.1) downwards
and pull it sideways.
• Now the specimen clamp can be pulled out to
the front and can be replaced with another
specimen clamping system.
• Insert the new specimen clamp into the
cylinder head so that the clamping lever can be
put through the hole of the adapter from the
right side all the way through.
• Then align the specimen clamp by means of
the orienting screws (fig. 33.2).
• Then press the clamping lever (fig. 33.1)
upwards.
