6-1 

Maintenance 

 

To prolong the service life of the equipment, the user 
should maintain it with care. The X-712 wheel aligner is 
of precision equipment which requires periodical 
maintenance. 

Computer 

z

 

User should have a basic knowledge about 
computer software and hardware to insure the 
normal operation of the computer. 

z

 

The computer host and the monitor should be 
firmly secured on the right positions. Do not put 
them in a freezing, wet, extremely hot or direct 
sunlight place, or near the source of radiation and 
heat.  

z

 

Don’t foist anything into the computer host and the 
monitor through the gap. 

z

 

Do not switch on/off the computer too frequently. 

z

 

Don’t change the BIOS setting at will. 

z

 

Don’t delete the unknown files in the hard disc at 

will to avoid abnormal computer operation or 
death. 

z

 

The computer is used only for X712 Wheel Aligner; 
don’t install other software to the Wheel Aligner 
computer to avoid computer virus. The computer is 

scanned to ensure it is free of virus before leaving 
factory. 

z

 

Don’t use other software to avoid possible virus. 
LAUNCH warranty does not cover the system 
problem arising from the virus.   

z

 

After a long period of use, the dust and oil dirt will 

be accumulated on the computer host and the 
monitor. Please cleanout it with neutral detergent 
or dehydrated alcohol. Avoid using oil or caustic 
product. 

z

 

Never disassemble the computer and move the 

inside cables and cards to avoid damage of the 
inside components. 

Wheel Clamp and Target 

z

 

The wheel clamp should be cleaned and lubricated 
timely to insure that the span of claws can be 
easily adjusted and attached. 

z

 

The targets of X-712 wheel aligner are the key 

components for the alignment measurement, do 
not damage their structures when using and 
storing, keep the surface of target clean. Please 
use the soft cloth dipped with an appropriate 
amount of the neutral detergent or the absolute 
alcohol to wipe the surface of target lightly if there 

are some smuts on it. 

z

 

Don’t disassemble the targets and clamps to avoid 
damage of their elements. LAUNCH will not 
guarantee for this kind of failure.   

Printer

 

z

 

Read the operation instruction of the printer 
carefully. 

z

 

Install suitable printer drive program, and apply 

right printer setting. 

z

 

If the printed words are not clear, it may be that the 
ink is used out. Please replace the printer ink 
cartridge in time to resume the printing quality. 

z

 

For other printer related problems, please contact 

the customer service center. 

Post, Lateral beam and Signal 
Cables 

z

 

There are two precision CCD cameras inside the 
lateral beam. The precision position calibration has 

been performed for the cameras after first 
installation. The user can not move or wobble the 
beam equipped with the cameras no matter during 
or after using it. 

z

 

Since computer visual technology is used to 

recognize the targets mounted on the wheels 
through the camera with high resolution, it is 
necessary for X-712 wheel aligner to prevent the 
outside infrared rays (e.g. sun-lights) from directly 
lighting to the targets and reflecting to the cameras, 
and it is necessary to avoid blocking the light way 

from the targets and the cameras for a long time 
during the instrument is working. 

z

 

The wires inside the post and the lateral beam 
equipped with the cameras are connected 
compactly. Don’t move them after first installation. 

z

 

Without approval of the supplier, please do not 
disassemble the computer host and the lateral 
beam equipped with the cameras in order to avoid 
damaging the components, influencing the test 
accuracy and increasing the costs and difficulties 

of maintenance and repair. For the damage 
caused by unauthorized disassembling will not be 
covered by the Warranty. 

Turntables 

The mechanical turntables are precision components. 
Avoid hitting during operation and never splash water on 
them. 
 

When moving the vehicle on the turntable, please insert 
the locking pin to avoid the turntable sliding. 
 
Generally speaking, it is not necessary to lubricate the 
turntables frequently.
