Pre-run Inspection
Perform a vehicle inspection before making a run.
• Check the radiator coolant (if applicable) and oil levels.
• Check the fuel source.
• Rotate the drum and check for rocks caught in the tire tread
that could fly out.
• Check the tire pressure and tire speed rating. Improperly
inflated tires or exceeding the maximum speed rating can
result in premature wear or severe tire damage. Make sure the
tire has no major deficiencies (cracks in sidewalls, tread life,
etc.).
• Visually inspect the vehicle. Make sure it is in safe running
order.
• Make sure ear protection and safety glasses are used when the
dyno is being operated.
• Check the tie-down straps to make sure that they are tight and
secured.
• Check the drive tires to be sure that they are aligned correctly
on the dynamometer’s drums.
• Keep all rotating components clear at all times.
• Only the operator should be near the dyno or the vehicle during
the test.
• Never allow any person(s) to stand behind the dyno or vehicle
when it is being operated.
• Perform any other safety inspections appropriate to running
your vehicle on the dyno.
WARNING: Never allow any person(s) to stand behind the
dyno or vehicle when it is being operated. Only the operator
should be near the dyno or the vehicle during the test.
Before Starting the Engine
Connect an exhaust hose or hoses (if dual exhaust) on the vehicle,
make sure the hose fits over the tail pipe, is not plugged or kinked
and the hose is vented correctly out of the dyno room.
WARNING: Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. Breathing it could cause death. Operate machine in
well ventilated area.
