signal cables. The two posts are respectively mounted
on the ground with anchor bolts, and the position
relationship between the posts and the cabinet is as
shown in Fig. 2.3.
(Note: During or after using, ensure to prevent the
posts from swaying, otherwise the position of
camera will be changed, influencing the test result).

Wheel Clamps and Targets
KWA-300 3D wheel aligner has 4 target-clamp
assemblies, which are monitored by cameras, are the
key components for whole test system. There are some
bull-eye signs for installing the wheel on the targets as
shown in Fig.2.4.
Fig.2.4
Whether the wheel clamps are fastened correctly or not
decides the test result. Turn the adjusting knob to adjust
the span between wheel claws until it is proper, and then
attach the clamp to the wheel rim. Adjust the knob to
make the wheel clamp fixed on wheel rim tightly. Use
the wheel clamp tie to bind the wheel clamp and the
wheel rim together.
The installation of wheel clamp is crucial to the test
result. The claws should be in even contact with the
wheel rim without touching the lead weight.
Avoid hitting during operation. Otherwise, distortion may
be caused and the test result may be influenced.
Communication Cables
There are 4 signal cables and 2 power supply cables for
infrared light between the main unit and the cameras of
KWA-300 3D wheel aligner, which should be fixed on the
ground at first installation, and should be protected with
the bushing. Ensure to prevent the liquid from entering
the inside of the cable bushing or to avoid putting the
heavy on it, in order to prevent the bushing from being
damaged.
Turntable and Transition Bridge
KWA-300 3D has two mechanical turntables
(standard configuration, see Fig.2.5).
Fig.2.5 mechanical turntables
The turntables are placed at the front wheel positions of
the vehicle on the lift.
Use the lock pin to lock the turntable before driving the
vehicle on. Pull out the lock pin after the vehicle is
stopped and the front wheels are at the centers of the
turntables. Each turntable is equipped with a transition
bridge, the transition bridge is placed between the
turntable and the lift to ensure the wheel move on the
turntable smoothly.
While testing, try your best to keep the vehicle front
wheels at the centers of the turntables.
Steering Wheel Holder
KWA-300 3D has a steering wheel holder as shown in
Fig.2.6. Use the steering wheel holder to lock the
steering wheel according to the tips on the screen.
