DYNO INSTALLATION
With the track assembly installed and secured to the floor, you are ready to install the
4WD dyno. This section will walk you through removing the dyno from the crate and
securing the dyno to the track.
REMOVING THE DYNO FROM THE CRATE
You will need to provide equipment capable of lifting a minimum of 2,495 kg
(5,500 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.

RECORD
Be sure you record the dynamometer number on the inside cover of this
manual
1 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.
2 Push the forklift forks together.
3 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.
4 Using the forklift, carefully lift the dyno off the crate and move it into position in
your dyno room.
Use caution when handling the hydraulic ram and the hoses connecting the
ram to the hydraulic motor.
