5.1 Preparations before starting a brake test
A Check if the tyres are in good condition, correctly inflated and free from mud and stones.
B.
Remove the roller cover and switch the power on.
C. Determine if the brake control system is single brake controlled or linked/dual brake controlled.
•
The motor can always be stopped by pressing any KEY on the remote control and the test will
be aborted.
•
In the event of an emergency, these procedures must be followed:
(1). Press any
KEY
on the remote control. This will stop the rollers
or
(2). Press the manual start/stop button on the side of the cabinet
or
(3). Push the
red emergency stop switch
, to isolate the electrical supply to the roller bed
•
When using the roller brake tester the wheel not on the rollers must be braked and chocked against
the reaction force.
The described testing procedure assumes a normal (forward) driving direction.
The described KEYS correspond with the keys on the infra red remote control.
5.2 Testing motor-cycles with single brake control systems
TESTING THE FRONT WHEEL
Press RESET to clear the system’s memory from any previous results.
•
Drive the front wheel in the rollers. Make sure that the motor-cycle is positioned on the rollers in a
straight line and that it is not in gear. The driver should sit on the motor-cycle as in a normal situation.
STEP 1: Measure brake force and weight front wheel
A.
Press
(
start/stop normal direction
)
to start the measurement. The drive direction lamp lights.
This is also the indicator and warning that the rollers are running.
The weight of the front wheel is measured and displayed.
The weight value will remain displayed until the brake force measurement is finished.
A moment after the weight measurement is taken, the rollers of the MCBT will start.
B.
Slowly increase the brake force on the first brake control system (BC1= hand brake) until maximum
effort is achieved, or until the wheel locks and slips on the rollers. The real time brake force is
displayed on the analogue LED dial.
At the slip limit the motor will be cut out immediately (to avoid unnecessary wear of the tyre) and
the lock lamp will light to indicate this wheel lock. If slip does not occur while the maximum brake
force is achieved, the rollers can be stopped by pressing
(
start/stop normal direction
)
.
For an accurate measurement, the brake force has to be built up slowly over 10 seconds!
After the rollers have stopped, the maximum brake force, the weight and the efficiency (for that
particular measurement) will be displayed in numerical values. The values will remain displayed
until either the tester is manually reset or the rollers are re-started for the next measurement.
