Stall Test

STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overail performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring the stall speeds in the D and R ranges.

CAUTION:
- Perform the test at normal operation fluid temperature (50-80°C or 122-176°F).
- Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
- To ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear, level area which provides good traction.
- The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.




MEASURE STALL SPEED
- Check the front and rear wheels.
- Connect a tachometer to the engine.
- Fully apply the parking brake.
- Press down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot.
- Start the engine.
- Shift into the D range. Press all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickly read the stall speed at this time.

Stall speed: 2,400 ± 150 rpm
