Placing Two Specimens

Installing the Top Closure

ProntoPress-10
Instruction Manual
Follow the instructions in Placing the Specimen.
Apply "Mould Release Agent" to all surfaces of the intermediate
ram.
Place the intermediate ram on top of the resin.
Place the second specimen on the intermediate ram and fill the
cylinder with an adequate quantity of resin.
Again, always make sure there is sufficient resin to cover the
sample after compression.
Remove resin dust from the upper part of the mounting
cylinder.
Clean the cylindrical surface of the upper ram. Cured resin can
easily be removed without damage to the surface of the ram
using the scraper supplied.
Apply "Mould Release Agent" to all accessible surfaces of the
upper ram.
Place the top closure with the upper ram on the mounting
cylinder.
Press the top closure straight down, turning it counter-
clockwise until you hear a click.
Press the top closure down and turn it clockwise until its lower
limit.
Turn the top closure a quarter of a turn back.
If the ram does not fit in the cylinder then check ram and cylinder for cured
resin. The tolerance between the cylinder and the ram is very fine and even
small amounts of resin from previous mounting may cause problems.
