Work Stall Test Warning
Work Stall Test Warning
Warning
One or more of the following guidelines may apply when performing specific required tests in the work stall:
* When a test requires spinning the drive wheels with the vehicle jacked up, adhere to the following precautions:
- Do not exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) when spinning one drive wheel with the other drive wheel stopped. This limit is necessary because the speedometer indicates only one-half the actual vehicle speed under these conditions. Personal injury may result from excessive wheel spinning.
- If all of the drive wheels are spinning at the same speed, do not exceed 112 km/h (70 mph). Personal injury may result from excessive wheel spinning.
- All persons should stay clear of the rotating components and the balance weight areas in order to avoid possible personal injury.
- When running an engine in the repair stall for an extended period of time, use care not to overheat the engine and the transmission.
* When a test requires jacking up the vehicle and running with the wheels and brake rotors removed, adhere to the following precautions:
- Support the suspension at normal ride height.
- Do not apply the brake with the brake rotors removed.
- Do not place the transmission in PARK with the drive axles spinning.
- Turn Off the ignition in order to stop the powertrain components from spinning.
* When running an engine in the work stall, use the exhaust removal system to prevent breathing dangerous gases.
