DYNO INSTALLATION
This section will walk you through removing the dyno from the crate and installing
the dyno in your pit. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on installing the eddy current
brake.
Note: Refer to Appendix C for instructions on upgrading an existing dyno.
R EMOVING THE D YNO FROM THE C RATE
You will need to provide equipment capable of lifting a minimum of 2,114 kg
(4,660 lb.) to lift the dyno off the crate and into position in your dyno room. You will
also need a pair of straps capable of supporting the same weight. Dynojet
recommends using two 2-inch x 6-foot single loop style straps. Refer to “Forklift
Requirements” on page 1-7.
1
Remove the four lag bolts and washers securing the dyno to the crate base using a
9/16-inch socket, open or box end wrench.
2 Route the loop strap through the opening in the dyno frame and through itself.
Pull the strap tight. Do this on each side of the dyno frame.
3 Push the forklift forks together.
4 Place each loop strap over both forks.
Note: The straps must be the same length and meet in the middle. Verify each
loop strap is over both forks to prevent the forks from being pulled apart.
5 Using the forklift, carefully lift the dyno off the crate and move it into position in
your dyno room.
