Before commencing work on underside of
vehicle re-check security of vehicle on stands.
Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from
stands.
Provided that front and rear dynamometer rollers are
rotating at identical speeds and that normal workshop
safety standards are applied, there is no speed
restriction during testing except any that may apply to
the tyres.
Two wheel dynamometers
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for
brake testing if possible.
If brake testing on a single axle rig is necessary it
must be carried out with propeller shaft to rear axle
removed, AND neutral selected in BOTH main
gearbox and transfer gearbox. When checking brakes,
run engine at idle speed to maintain servo vacuum.
If checking engine performance, the transfer box must
be in high range and propeller shaft to stationary axle
must be removed.
HYDRAULIC VEHICLE RAMP (FOUR POST)
Use only a ’drive on’ type ramp which supports vehicle
on its road wheels. If a ’wheel-free’ condition is
required, use a ’drive on’ ramp incorporating a
’wheel-free’ system providing support beneath axle
casings. Alternatively, place vehicle on a firm, flat floor
and support on axle stands.
TWO POST VEHICLE RAMPS
The manufacturer of LAND ROVER VEHICLES
DOES NOT recommend using ’Two Post’ ramps
that employ four adjustable support arms. These
are NOT considered safe for Land Rover vehicles.
If vehicle is installed on a Two Post ramp
responsibility for safety of vehicle and personnel
performing service operations is in the hands of
the Service Provider.
