5.3 Test Preparation
Prior to the start of dynamometer testing, the entire system should be checked to ensure everything is
ready. Some of the items to check are:
• Ensure:
– The water supply and cooling systems are operational. Top off the water supply tank if necessary .
– The water pressure to the system is set between 60-90psi when deadheaded.
– You have an adequate supply of fuel.
– You have an adequate supply of engine oil.
• Verify the computer is communicating with the system.
Mounting the Front of the Engine
Mount the engine to the cart. If the carts front mounts do not mate with your engine, you must fabricate
your own mounting attachments. SuperFlow does not supply such devices. The engine should be level
(parallel to the floor) once mounted.
Mounting the Engine
It is usually easier to mount the engine on the stand
before the headers are installed. Refer to figure 5.1
when following this procedure.
1. Support the engine from a lift at the angle it will
be mounted on the Docking Cart. Rotate the
front engine mounting pedestals out to each
side of the stand.
2. Position the rear of the engine about 4” (10cm)
from the rear of the Docking Cart.
3. Raise the rear support post to contact the
bottom of the oil pan and position the rear
engine center line at the same height of the
dyno drive shaft.
4. Attach the front engine mounts and carefully
position the engine center line with the Docking
Cart center line as the engine is lowered from
the hoist.
5. Tighten the front engine mount bolts at the
frame.
6. Install the appropriate rear engine mount to support the engine.
7. Roll the Docking Cart into the test cell and dock it with the dynamometer absorber stand. Use the
docking clamps and foot brake to secure the cart.
