2. Scrape the frame's surface to remove all paint or plastic filler which will affect
strain link readings. Cast frames may need light grinding to provide a flat surface.
There should be no imperfections, ridges, or cavities on the mounting surface.
Such imperfections will make it hard or impossible to zero the links later and
cause inaccurate tonnage readings.
Use caution when determining an appropriate location for each
strain link! Do not mount any strain link under or above a hole
(1" in diameter or larger) on the press column. Avoid mounting
the strain link inside the die area where it would be subjected to
harsh chemicals. If necessary, use a cover to protect the strain
link.
