desired value. The pin depth of the sliding load is preset at the factory. The pin depth should not
have to be reset each time the sliding load is used, but it should be checked before each use.
If the pin depth is outside the observed limits listed in

remove the aligning pin from the gage.
The sliding load pin depth is now in specification and the load is ready to use. Once the sliding load
pin depth is set it rarely needs to be adjusted. However, the pin depth should be rechecked before
each use. Replace the protective plastic caps on the sliding load and gage connectors when these
devices are not in use.
