Risk of death
Severe injuries could be caused by rotating parts in the area of the running engine, the drivetrain and the rotating test stand rollers and vehicle wheels.
When performing operations on the roller dynamometer, appropriate shielding (e.g. barrier, safety guards) must be used to protect blind areas from unauthorized access.

- Wear suitable head wear to cover long hair.
- Operate roller dynamometers only within the prescribed capacity limits.
- Ensure that all persons remain outside of the hazard area of rotating wheels, shafts and test stand rollers when the roller dynamometer is in or ready for operation.
