SPEEDOMETER TEST
IF A FREE ROLLER IS USED
1.Set the free roller on the floor (at the rear wheels) so that it
is aligned with the vehicle’s wheelbase and the rear tread.
2.Carefully move the vehicle onto the tester and free roller.
3. Set the speedometer tester in place.
4. Perform the speedometer test. For information concerning the measurement of speed and
the allowable error, refer to GROUP
54-Meters and
Gauges.
Caution
Do not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
IF THE REAR WHEELS ARE JACKED UP
1. Move the vehicle onto the speedometer tester.
2. Jack up the rear wheels, and place axle stands at the designated part of the side sill.
3. Perform the speedometer test. For information concerning the measurement of speed and
the allowable error, refer to GROUP
54-Meters and

Front wheel side slip
To prevent the front wheels from moving from side to side, attach tension bars to the towing hooks, and secure both ends
at anchor plates.
Accident prevention procedures (1) Attach a chain or wire to the rear traction hook. Make sure the end of the wire or chain is secured firmly.
(2) Take all other necessary precautions.
BRAKE TEST In order to stabilize the viscous coupling’s dragging force, the
brake test should always be conducted after the speedometer
test.
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Place the front wheels on the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
Caution
The rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3. If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, jack up the vehicle and manually rotate each wheel tocheck the rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTE
If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, the
cause may be the effect of the viscous coupling’s dragging
force, so jack up the front wheels and check the rotation condition of the wheels in this state for no effect by the
viscous coupling’s dragging force.
