Brief Operating Manual
8.1
Start up the test stand
- Switch on the main switch, the green LED will light up to indicate the power supply. Press the
automatic button, the test stand switches to automatic start and the orange LED lights up.
- Please make sure that the ground clearance of the vehicle to be tested is sufficient before
entering the test stand.
8.2
Entering the test stand
- Drive the vehicle into the test stand with the axle which is to be tested in the centre, release the
breaks, shift into neutral and hold the steering wheel with both hands. The orange automatic LED
starts to flash and the test stand is started after about 5 seconds.
- After the test stand has been started, the orange LED will go out. Release the steering wheel
until it is aligned and hold it again.
8.3
Brake Test
- Slowly engage the brake pedal or the parking brake and watch both displays indicating the
increasing brake values.
- Continue to increase the brake values until the test stand is shut down by means of the slip
switch-off. The display indicates the maximum brake value for about 5 seconds. During this time
the orange LED flashes to indicate that the test stand is in automatic mode, then the test stand
will be restarted and the orange LED will go out.
- Carry out the braking process again or exit the test stand.
8.4
Leaving the test stand
- Shift into first gear and drive the vehicle out of the test stand while the green LED is lit up.
Please Note:
Do not leave the test stand if the orange LED is flashing, as the test stand is not active yet
and as a result the wheels of the vehicle are not supported by the test rollers when driving out. After the
orange LED has gone out, the electric motor of the test rollers is engaged and its resistance facilitates the
departure from the test stand.
8.5
Closing-down
- Turn the main switch off and secure it with a padlock.
