9.2 Preliminary
Operations
9.2.1 Vehicle Check Preliminary Operations
Before starting the vehicle alignment, the following checks should be carried
out:
• Check and, if necessary, eliminate any clearance on suspensions on
steering linkage
• Check and, if necessary, eliminate any hard spot or yielding of suspension
spring parts.
• Adjust tire pressure to the values speci
fi
ed by the manufacturer.
• Position and distribute any load envisaged by the manufacturer.
9.2.2 Measurement Preliminary Operations
Before proceeding with the selection of the page showing the technical data of
the vehicle (see part 9.4), you can start preparing the vehicle for measuring as
described below:
• Properly place the vehicle with the front wheels on the rotating plates
• Fit clamps with the four targets onto wheels
• Connect and switch on
1
the 2 3D cameras on lift edges (see Figure 1)
• Lock rotating plates
In this phase, the pictures showing the 2 batteries of the 3D cameras are
displayed with the relevant residual charge %. In the case of models which do
not feature a battery and are therefore powered by cable, or when the recharge
cable is connected, the charge % will always show 99%.

It is recommended to mount the clamps with the targets and switch on the 2 3D cameras already in the
preliminary stage, to enable the system to recognize and “connect” the 4 targets located on the wheels. The
time taken by the following phase for selecting make and model and for displaying technical data is therefore
used by the system also for the recognition and optimization of the 4 targets.
