WA R N I N G S Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Electrostatic Discharge Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), or static shock, can damage electronic components within the dynamometer. The damage may occur at the time of an ESD occurrence, or the shock may degrade the component, resulting in a premature component failure later. To avoid ESD damage, always practice good ESD control precautions when servicing the dynamometer.
WA R N I N G S Other Potential Hazards The AC power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and it shall be easily accessible to allow for disconnect before service. The dynamometer should be located in a well ventilated area. There is a carbon monoxide hazard with all internal combustion engines. Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Breathing it could cause death. Any dyno room design must incorporate sufficient exhaust extraction.
