Chassis Dynamometer - Operation
(14-04)
The performance of an engine installed in on-highway
vehicles can be tested on a chassis dynamometer.
NOTE: Due to driveline efficiency and engine-driven acces-
sories, the engine horsepower when measured at the rear
wheels will be reduced by approximately:
20 percent for single axle vehicles
25 percent for tandem axle vehicles
NOTE: These percentages are used for engine run-in only
and are not to be used as absolute figures.
Caution: Follow all the vehicle manufacturer's safety
precautions before installing or operating a vehicle on a
chassis dynamometer.
