Perform safety and vehicle checks before driving the vehicle onto the dyno.

• A. Not Sure
• B. Not Applicable
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

Performing safety and vehicle checks before driving onto the dyno is essential because the dyno puts the vehicle through controlled high-speed loads and braking. If something isn’t right—loose items inside the car, a damaged tire, improper tire inflation, loose wheel nuts, a failing brake system, an exhaust issue, or unsecured components—it can lead to loss of control, damage to the vehicle or the dyno, or unsafe conditions for the operator. These checks also ensure the vehicle is compatible with the dyno setup (correct wheel type, weight range, and secure tie-downs) and that safety measures like proper restraint and emergency stops are in place. By confirming these factors beforehand, you protect people, equipment, and data integrity, which is why this practice is expected and correct.
