6. Loosen one of the bolts and monitor the change of the displayed
values.
•
If the deviations are less than 0.05 mm (2 mils), the foot has a
good support. Tighten the bolt and go to the next foot.
•
If any of the deviations is larger than 0.05 mm (2 mils), the foot
or its diagonally opposed foot is a soft foot. Tighten the bolt
and check the diagonally opposed foot.
•
If the deviation is larger than the previously tightened foot,
then this is the soft foot.
•
If not, tighten the bolt and go back to the previous diagonally
opposed foot. It is normally worthwhile to try to improve the
support of the soft foot by adding shims. Add the amount of
shims corresponding to the larger deviation measured.
7.
Tighten and loosen the bolt once again to check that the deviation
does not exceed 0.05 mm (2 mils).
8. Repeat steps 5 to 8 for the remaining feet. The soft foot is now
checked and corrected.
9.
Press + and - simultaniously to leave the soft foot mode and enter
the measuring sequence.
