Inspect the rail brake clearance once per month.
1 Shut off or disconnect the air supply to dyno, and follow your company’s lock out
procedure.

be lit.
3 Press and hold the dyno movement switch in either the in or out position until
you cannot hear any air going through the movement motor.
4 Using the red button on the pendant, cycle the drum brakes on and off several
times until no air is heard.
5 Remove the grate cover from the dyno to access the pit.
6 Using a ruler, measure the free play movement of each rail brake. The free play
should not exceed 5 mm (3/16 in.).

and turning the adjusting bolt until free play is within specification. Tighten the
jam nut while holding the adjusting bolt.
