Check caster and assign to tabular value - AR40.20-P-0322-03GH

IMPORTANT Measure ride heights of front and rear axles and consult chart for front caster angle (with wheels at 20° angle), tolerance ± 30', max. difference left to right 30'.

The level values are displayed by the electronic inclinometer in decimal degrees °.

The specifications in mm serve merely as an aid to understanding, they are not displayed by the electronic measuring system.
