PRE-RUN INSPECTION
Perform a vehicle inspection before making a run. Check the following:
• 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.
• For motorcycles, check the chain and the chain master link. Make sure it is
lubricated and adjusted to the proper tension.
• 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.).
Note:
When running an ATV, you may need to increase the tire pressure so the
tire does not come in contact with the decking.
• 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.
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.
