PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This section covers maintenance items for all model 424 dynos with the Spring
Applied Air Release (SAAR) brake and the 4WD attachment. For more detailed
maintenance instructions, refer to the Maintenance Guide for Automotive
Dynamometers (P/N 98119101).
THINGS TO CHECK
• Check all air fittings for leaks monthly. Correct any leaks found.
• Once per month verify the brake pressure gauge reads 100psi (690kPa). Adjust the
regulator if the pressure is out of specification. Refer to page 6-13 for more
information.
• Check the brake shoe clearance. Refer to page 6-14 for more information.

Under steady use, over 25 runs per day, each bearing should receive .65oz (19 ml)
of a recommended grease every 2 months.
Under occasional use, less than 25 runs per day, each bearing should receive .65oz
(19 ml) of a recommended grease every six months.
