IMPORTANT The display indicates that the meter is ready to measure angle 5. This angle is no longer measured.

  1. Press the "MEMORY" button once.

    IMPORTANT The main menu is displayed.

  2. Press "MEMORY" button again.

    IMPORTANT The memory displays the measured angle (a, b, d) and the resulting articulation angle ∠ 1 (c) and articulation angle ∠ 2 (e).

  3. Record inclination angle ∠1 (c) e.g. +0.26° and inclination angle ∠2 (e) e.g. +0.58° on the data sheet.
  4. Press "STEP" button.

    IMPORTANT The measured angles (d, f) and the calculated inclination angle ∠3 (g) are displayed.

  5. Enter articulation angle ∠3 (g) e.g. 0.08° into data sheet.

IMPORTANT The inclination angles are calculated from the differences between the respective angle measurements.

Front articulation angle (∠1): 

Transmission to front propeller shaft.

Inclination angle in center (∠2): 

Front propeller shaft to rear propeller shaft.

Rear articulation angle (∠3): 

Rear propeller shaft to rear axle differential.

IMPORTANT If an inclination angle is outside of the tolerance, it must be corrected. All articulation angle differences should be as close as possible to the center of the relevant tolerance range.

A check measurement must be carried out after each inclination angle correction.
