Setting The Alignment - Reely 1400040 Bedienungsanleitung

b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure "A", toe-out = figure "B") describes
the relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driv-
ing. Therefore, they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving
direction.
To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so
that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering
of the tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary
vehicle point outward.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting. It is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
Setting front axle alignment:
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the track
rod lever (A). Because it has a left and right hand thread
each, it does not need to be dismantled to be adjusted.
Always twist both track rod levers equally (left and right
front wheel); otherwise, you will misadjust the trim at the
transmitter.
The axle leg has several attachment points (B) for the
steering knuckle arm, which are used for changing the de-
flection angle of the front wheel (Ackermann angle).
The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the
vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment
point (B).
Setting rear axle alignment:
The track of the rear axle in this vehicle is set and cannot be changed.
