Step 5:
Move the pad target to the next scale pad and repeat the procedure.
DO
NOT MOVE THE LASER STAND.
It must stay in the same place to maintain the
height. Repeat for all pads.
Step 6:
Now you have all 4 scale pads at the same height and each one is level.
Mark the floor so you can return the pads or roll-offs to the exact same spot. You
can use paint, chalk, duct tape, etc. (Tip: if you will be regularly using the same
spot in your shop mark the floor with durable paint.). If you need to temporarily
move the Laser stand mark its location also.
Step 7:
Move the scale pads to the side, push the car into place so the wheels line
up with where the scale pads were. Lift the car, one side at a time, and slide the
pads under the wheels until they are in the same place as marked on the floor.
Your car is now on accurately leveled scale pads for consistant setups.
Step 8 -
Using the Laser to check ride heights:
The Laser will shoot a wide
beam under the car at the same level as the top of the pads (ground plane), simu-
lating the ground. To check heights use a tape measure under the car and note
where the Laser beam hits the tape. This is what the ride height will be when the
car is back on the ground. If needed rotate the Laser on the stand (DON’T move
the stand) to aim at the area you want to measure. Remember; the Laser stand
MUST be in the same place as when you leveled the scale pads.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This Laser works best inside.
Bright sunlight may interfere with Laser beam
visability. On a bright day it may be necessary to shade the target to clearly see
the Laser beam.
Slide the lockout switch on the back to UNLOCK
. This will let the Laser accu-
rately self level. When you are done switch to
LOCK
for storage. This is important
as the self- leveling mechanism can be damaged in handling if not locked down.

Frame height gauges included can be used to quickly check ride heights.
They have magnets to hold to the underside of your frame where you would nor-
mally measure ride height. They are calibrated to read actual ride height in
inches.
