5.1.1. Unpacking
WARNING The AutoDyn is very heavy. All lifting and handling should use standard safety
procedures for heavy objects. The forklift must be rated for at least 8000 lbs.
(3650 kg).
1. Depending on how the dynamometer was shipped to your
facility, it may arrive with or without a crate. Taking care
not to damage the paint, remove any crating and other
packing material from the dynamometer. Inspect the
dynamometer for any exterior damage.
2. Remove the packing from the absorber module (if sup-
plied), and inspect the module for damage.
3. Remove the packing from all the other equipment and lay
out the parts. Inspect the equipment for any damage.
5.1.2. Installation
1. Be sure to think about access to the area and about the
maneuvering space required for moving a vehicle onto the
dynamometer, ramp, or lift.
2. Position the dynamometer in the desired location. The
floor or pit must be level and be able to support the weight
of the dynamometer, lift, and vehicle.
3. Level the dynamometer using the leveling screws in all
four corners.
4. Remove the four screws securing the central cover (be-
tween the rolls).
WARNING The cover is heavy. Use caution when removing it and make sure it does not
drop into the dynamometer housing.
Remove the cover.
5. Remove the metal shipping strap from the load cell bolts
and install the load cell. (The load cell may already be
installed on your system.)
6. Attach the absorber module to the dynamometer frame as
described below.
If you do not have an absorber module, skip to step 7.
