OWER ARRIAGE
This optional accessory requires the CPI and battery to operate. Use the control panel
to activate the power carriage allowing you to center the bike's rear tire on the dyno
drum.
The power carriage and wheel clamp cannot be activated at the same time.
Note: When operating the power carriage with a bike on the dyno, make sure the
bike is in neutral.
Note: Always loosen or remove the bike tie-down straps before moving the
carriage. Replace and tighten the straps when the bike is in the proper position.
Never perform a dyno run if the tie-down straps are not in place or they
are damaged.
If the carriage movement is slow during parts of its travel, investigate and correct the
source of the problems. If you reach the end of travel of the carriage or the carriage
binds and you continue to hold down the carriage movement button, the motor will
draw too much current and blow the carriage fuse F2. There is a short time delay built
into the button operation to allow the carriage motor to coast to a stop before it moves
in the opposite direction. This delay is needed to prevent the motor from drawing too
much current by rapidly reversing the motor.
S
TARTER
The built in starter allows you to use the momentum of the drum to start motorcycles
that are not equipped with an on-board starting system. The starter requires a battery
to operate. Refer to"Battery Installation" on page 2-13 for more information.
If the E-Stop button is pressed, the starter will not engage. If the interlock circuit is
open, the starter will not operate.
1 Make sure the dyno brakes are not activated.
2 Verify the bike is in neutral or disengage the clutch.
3 Press and hold the green starter button until the drum reaches maximum speed.
4 Release the green starter button.
5 Use the momentum of the drum to start the bike.
Note: Do not re-engage the starter while the drum is turning.
