Test Track Vehicle
Installing the Transducer
Do not lay the wheel flat while the transducer is attached to it.
When the wheel is laid flat with the transducer facing down the weight of the
wheel can damage the connectors.
Always hold the wheel upright when the transducer is attached to it. If needed,
have another person hold the tire upright while you tighten the bolts, or place the
wheel on a thin layer of foam to protect the connectors.
Do not under-torque the lug nuts.
Lug nuts that are not properly tightened can become loose during testing.
Loss of a wheel can cause damage to the test vehicle and transducer and
result in injury to personnel.
Always tighten the lug nuts to the torque rating recommended for the vehicle/
wheel.
Do not drop the slip ring bracket (spider).
Dropping the slip ring bracket can damage the slip ring or a connector.
Always use care when you handle the slip ring bracket.
Do not allow the mounting arm or anti-rotate arm to bump against any
portion of the wheel or wheel well.
The anti-rotate device should not bump against the wheel well or other
vehicle parts at any time. Any jarring of the anti-rotate arm will damage the
slip ring and/or the encoder.
Position the mounting arm and anti-rotate assembly so that full suspension travel
will not cause interference with the wheel well or any other part of the vehicle.
