bed, prepare engine for starting and conduct the test
in following manner.
•
Connect oil pressure gauge and temperature
gauge.
•
Connect coolant hose to and from radiator. Fill
coolant in the cooling system. Fit radiator cap.
•
Fill required quantity of recommended oil in the oil
sump.
•
Mount air cleaner assembly on test bed suitably.

indicated by gauge is satisfactory.
•
Slightly raise the engine speed and check for any
oil, fuel, coolant and air leakages. Rectify if any.
Check colour of the exhaust gas. Check for any
unusual noise from the engine.
•
Connect engine to dynamometer and run for
running in test as per test schedule.
