let anyone stand in front of the vehicle.
NOTE:
For Stall Test Specifications, see STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS
table.
- Before making test, check transmission oil level, bring engine to normal operating temperature, and attach tachometer to engine.
- Test consists of determining engine speed obtained at full throttle in "D" position. Both parking and service brakes must be fully applied while making test.CAUTION: DO NOT hold throttle open any longer than is necessary to obtain a maximum engine speed reading, and never longer than 5 seconds at a time.
- If more than one stall check is required, operate engine at approximately 1000 RPM in neutral for 20 seconds to cool transmission fluid between runs. If engine speed exceeds maximum limits shown, release accelerator immediately since transmission clutch slippage is indicated.
