The level values are displayed by the electronic inclinometer in decimal degrees.
1 Measure vehicle level on one side of vehicle and find the specified value for the caster in the table.
The caster cannot be adjusted but it must be checked to ensure the chassis geometry is correct.
2 Measure the actual caster as part of the axle alignment and compare with the specified values.
Compare the caster values determined on both sides of the vehicle and establish whether the permissible tolerance has been maintained.
Example:
Level of front axle 7.6°
= Front axle caster value 6° 29'
