Installing Spacers
High capacity dynamometers with shackles of 50,000 lbf/20,000kgf capacity and up, use spacers on each side of the LTL to
insure proper centering for performance and safety reasons.
Do not use the dynamometer with shackles if the spacers are not installed. The LTL design incorporates an innovative
method to retain these spacers, if desired, to ease shackle installation.
See User Manual on the CD for more detail on retaining spacers.
