DYNO INSTALLATION
This section will walk you through removing the dyno from the crate and installing
the dyno in front of your lift. Refer to Appendix C for instructions on upgrading an
existing dyno.
REMOVING THE DYNO FROM THE CRATE
You will need to provide equipment capable of lifting a minimum of 2,114 kg
(4,660 lb.) to lift the dyno off the crate and into position in your dyno room. You will
also need a pair of straps capable of supporting the same weight. Dynojet
recommends using two 2-inch x 6-foot single loop style straps. Refer to “Forklift
Requirements” on page 1-7.

RECORD
Be sure you record the dynamometer number on the inside cover of this
manual.
1 Remove the crate braces that support the top portion of the crate.
2 Remove the four lag bolts and washers securing the dyno to the crate base using a
9/16-inch socket, open or box end wrench.
3 Remove and set aside the four flange bolts securing the crate feet to the dyno.
4 Route the loop strap through the opening in the dyno frame and through itself.
Pull the strap tight. Do this on each side of the dyno frame.
5 Push the forklift forks together.
6 Place each loop strap over both forks.
Note: The straps must be the same length and meet in the middle. Verify each
loop strap is over both forks to prevent the forks from being pulled apart.
7 Using the forklift, carefully lift the dyno off the crate and move it into position in
your dyno room.
