Mounting the Console

The Series 4400 Console is attached to a console mounting
bracket that is, in turn, mounted on one of the load frame
columns, either directly in grooves in the column cover (ta-
ble models) or on an extension of the column cover (floor
models). On floor model load frames, the column cover ex-
tension can be mounted on either the right-hand or left-
hand load frame column, specified at the time of purchase,
but this can be changed later, if necessary. The console is
attached to the mounting bracket with screws, and the
bracket can rotate around a vertical axis to provide a com-
fortable viewing angle for the console.

Attaching the Console

The console mounting bracket is in two parts; a sliding
bracket that attaches to the load frame, and a pivot
bracket that attaches to the Control Console. A 15° tilt
bracket is also provided so that the console can be tilted
back from vertical for more comfortable operation.
Attach the console to the pivot bracket first, then attach
the pivot bracket to the sliding bracket. The whole as-
sembly is then mounted on the load frame. Use the fol-
lowing procedure to assemble all parts:
(a) Place the console against the pivot bracket, and align
the mounting holes. (If you wish to use the 15° tilt
bracket, attach it to the console before attaching the
console to the pivot bracket).
