INFORMATION

2. Raise front road wheels to enable an axle stand

to be installed under left hand axle tube.

3. Position an axle stand under right hand axle

tube, carefully lower jack until axle sits securely
on both axle stands, remove trolley jack.

4. Before commencing work on underside of

vehicle re-check security of vehicle on stands.

5. Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from

stands.

Raise rear of vehicle

1. Position cup of hydraulic arm under differential

casing.

2. Raise vehicle to enable axle stands to be

installed under left and right hand axle tubes.

3. Lower jack until axle sits securely on axle

stands, remove trolley jack.

4. Before commencing work on underside of

vehicle re-check security of vehicle on stands.

5. Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from

stands.

HYDRAULIC VEHICLE RAMP (FOUR POST)

Use only a ’drive on’ type ramp which supports vehicle
by its own road wheels. If a ’wheel-free’ condition is
required, use a ’drive on’ ramp incorporating a
’wheel-free’ system that supports under axle casings.
Alternatively, place vehicle on a firm, flat floor and
support on axle stands.

TWO POST VEHICLE RAMPS

The manufacturer of LAND ROVER VEHICLES
DOES NOT recommend using ’Two Post’ ramps
that employ four adjustable support arms. These
are NOT considered safe for Land Rover vehicles.
If vehicle is installed on a Two Post ramp
responsibility for safety of vehicle and personnel
performing service operations is in the hands of
the Service Provider.

DYNAMOMETER TESTING - NON ANTI-LOCK
BRAKE VEHICLES

Viscous coupling

The front and rear axles cannot be driven
independently due to the viscous coupling. This
eliminates the need for differential lock by
progressively locking the centre differential
automatically if slip occurs at any wheel.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to drive
individual wheels with vehicle supported
on floor jacks or stands.

Four wheel dynamometers

Provided that front and rear dynamometer rollers are
rotating at identical speeds and that normal workshop
safety standards are applied, there is no speed
restriction during testing except any that may apply to
the tyres.

Two wheel dynamometers

IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for
brake testing if possible.

If brake testing on a single axle rig is necessary it
must be carried out with propeller shaft to rear axle
removed, AND neutral selected in BOTH main
gearbox and transfer gearbox. When checking brakes,
run engine at idle speed to maintain servo vacuum.
If checking engine performance, the transfer box must
be in high range and propeller shaft to stationary axle
must be removed.
