status of the vehicle body. 

 

Fig.4.10 

 

Operating methods: 
According to the prompts on the picture at the bottom of 

the interface, measure left, right, front and rear ride 
height values respectively, and input them into the 
corresponding inputting boxes. Click [NEXT] after 
finished. 

 

Caution: 

1.

 

Testing conditions for ride height measurement   

z

 

Specified tire pressure 

z

 

Good and even tread pattern   

z

 

Specified wheel bearing clearance 

z

 

Specified rim and tire   

z

 

The brake pedal depressor is installed 

z

 

Counterweight the whole vehicle according to 
the normal driving conditions. Adjust the 
seats to the middle positions and fill the 
gasoline tank full.   

2.

 

If the measured values are beyond the tolerance 
range, it indicates that the vehicle is faulty, and the 
faults must be eliminated before performing the ride 
height measurement. 

3.

 

For the vehicle with air shock absorbers, please pull 

out the security device of the air feeding equipment 
to prevent the vehicle from being adjusted up and 
down. 

4.

 

The sandbags and height measurement meter are 
not delivered with the instrument, users should 

prepare them by themselves. 

Rolling Run-out Compensation 

Rolling run-out compensation is mainly used for getting 
the inherent parameters of the targets before the normal 
measurement, so as to ensure the measurement more 
accurate, the interface is as shown in Fig.4.11: 

 

Fig.4.11

 

 

 
Operating Procedures: 
1.

 

Install four wheel clamp targets respectively; 

2.

 

Place the transition bridges at the appropriate 
positions between the lift and the mechanical 
turntables respectively;   

3.

 

Turn the front wheels straight ahead, and fasten the 
steering wheel with steering wheel holder, and then 
remove the brake pedal depressor. Move the 
parking wooden chocks back by around 35cm (if 
the diameter of the wheel is more than 700mm, the 

distance should be increased appropriately) away 
to ensure the vehicle can move freely within the 
distance scope; 

4.

 

According to the system operation prompts, please 
push the vehicle back slowly to the position 

required, and then pull the vehicle back to the 
original location.

 

 

 
Caution: 
1.

 

Before performing Rolling run-out 

compensation operation, be sure to fix the 
steering wheel according to the requirements, 
in order to avoid the wheels' swing to left or 
right when performing Rolling run-out 
compensation operation, causing the unstable 

axis; 

2.

 

The line of sight of any camera cannot be 
blocked during pulling and pushing vehicle; 

3.

 

Keep the force for pushing and pulling the 
vehicle evenly, keep the measurement platform 

level, and keep the vehicle moving smoothly; 

4.

 

Basically keep the target surface vertical to the 
ground level, otherwise, too large elevation of 
the target in motion will be resulted in, causing 
the abnormal target image. 

5.

 

Please remove the transition bridges away from 
the lift after finishing rolling run-out 
compensation measurement. 

6.

 

This operation should be performed at the 
calibration position.
