2-6 AC Motoring Chassis Dynamometer
2.3 Packaging and Handling
The components of a CycleDyn dynamometer are shipped on wooden pallets or in crates. It is
shrinkwrapped and covered by a fitted cardboard box secured by plastic or metal straps.
CAUTION:
The dynamometer modules may have UNEVEN weight distributions.
2.3.1 Lifting and Handling Instructions
If possible, leave the dynamometer and auxiliary modules on the shipping pallets until ready for
installation.
Place hooks on a lifting chain or strap into the openings at each end of
the AC Motor module. Lift the module carefully and place it into
position. You can make the final adjustment of the module position by
hand.
Once off the pallet, use a forklift or pallet jack to move the frames or
modules. Make sure the forks are completely across the frame and
extend out the opposite side. Always use blocks under the frame
edges when removing the forklift or pallet jack.
Use an overhead hoist to lower the dynamometer frame and modules to their final position on the
floor. Never push the frame off the forklift, pallet jack, or blocks.
WARNING: Failure to use the lift points indicated or improperly using a hoist or forklift
may result in damage or severe personal injury.
TIP:
An alternative method for moving the dynamometer and modules is to use a heavy-duty strap
under the frame and lift them with a forklift or hoist. When the dynamometer is in position, slide
the strap out from under the frame.
