Cautions on chassis dynamometer use
- When inspecting and servicing the powertrain on the dynamometer or speedometer tester, pay attention to the following:
- Place a fan, preferably a vehicle-speed proportional type, in front of the vehicle.
- Make sure the vehicle is in a facility with an exhaust gas ventilation system.
- Keep the rear bumper cool by placing a cooling fan near the exhaust pipe so that the rear bumper does not get deformed by the heat from the exhaust.
- Keep the area around the vehicle uncluttered so that heat does not build up.
- Watch the water temperature gauge and do not overheat the engine.
- Avoid added load to the engine and maintain normal driving conditions as much as possible.
