— If the wheels are coplanar (in the same
plane), the gauge will evenly touch the top
and bottom of both wheels.
— If the top wheel is NOT parallel with the
bottom wheel, use the tracking knob to
bring it into alignment.
— If the top wheel is NOT parallel from side
to side (laterally), perform the
Laterally
Adjusting Top Wheel procedure below.
— If both wheels are parallel but not aligned,
perform the
Shimming Wheel procedure
below on the wheel that is farthest from the
coplanarity gauge.
Note: Use the fine ruler to measure the
gap from the gauge to the wheel. The
size of the gap represents the size of the
shim(s) you need.
