TABLE OF CONTENTS
Carry out the sensor alignment and levelling procedure and the subsequent direct angle detection:
•
turn the steering wheel from left to right, or vice-versa, until the wheels are aligned, that is, until the display level appears in the
centre;
•
Adjust the front sensor heads until they are level and brake using the clamp knobs. The rear sensor heads also need to be visually
levelled and braked with the tightening knobs.
When alignment is achieved, the "STOP" sign image appears, indicating that the program is acquiring vehicle data measurements.
NOTE:
The vehicle on which the operations are being performed can be equipped with a front spoiler that prevents the sensor heads from
communicating with one another. In this case, the special "spoiler" procedure is started automatically.
Following the graphical representation that appears on the screen, the front sensors must be lowered so that the transducers at the
end of the arm are under the spoiler. The system acquires the front toe measurement, then the procedure in the previous alignment
and levelling screens will be displayed again.
The program will automatically proceed to align and level.
When alignment and levelling are achieved, the "STOP" sign image appears, indicating that the program is acquiring the vehicle data
measurements. The program then proceeds automatically.

STEERING PROCEDURE
Once the alignment procedure is complete (Para. 7.8), the following screen appears; from here, it is possible to carry out the steering
procedure needed to determine the following angle measurements:
•
Caster - King-pin - Incl.angle
Steering arrival point
Tap this key to select
the steering mode (*)
Following the instructions on the screen, turn the steering wheel such as to bring the level of the viewer to the point of arrival highlighted
in green, first to the left, then to the right and finally to the centre.
After the wheels have been returned to the centre, the program proceeds automatically and will show the diagnosis page (Para. 7.10).
(*) Steering mode for acquisition of caster/king-pin.
Steering at 10°
Steering at 20°
ACKERMANN steering (at 20° with steering geometry)
Tap this key to display the "chassis diagnosis" (graphic-geometric representation of the axles of the vehicle the operator is
working on - Para. 7.14.1).
Tap this key to display the page shown opposite, where it is possible to enter the
MAXIMUM STEERING values (useful to evaluate the centring of the steering box),
which must be measured manually by observing the values on the graduated scales
Alt+ F2
on the steering plates.
These values will then be indicated in the printed report.

Note: The steering procedure can also be skipped by selecting this key; the values of the measurements
indicated above will not be obtained, skipping straight to the diagnosis page (Para. 7.10).
