3. MEASURE STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and the engine by measuring the
maximum engine speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 - 80°C (122 - 176 °F).
Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
(1) Check the front and rear wheels.
(2) Connect the tachometer to the engine.
