	Check
1	Carry out preconditions and tests for vehicle level measurement
2	Clean measuring points	General information on vehicle level measurement This prevents any measuring errors.	AR40.00-P-0202A
3.1	Mount measuring sensor (086a) roughly in the center of the cross strut (17)	MODEL 204.08/09/28/29/38/9 The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 1 (left front) and Measuring point 2 (right front) and save measured values.
3.1		Vehicle level - front axle Electronic inclinometer gotis://F_40.2_02.0	*BE40.20-P-1001-02P
3.2	Mount the measuring sensor (086a) between the cast-in humps (arrows).	MODEL 204 (except 204.08/09/28/29/38/9) With old cross strut (17) Assembly: The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 1 (left front) and Measuring point 2 (right front) and save measured values.
3.2		Vehicle level - front axle Electronic inclinometer gotis://F_40.2_02.0	*BE40.20-P-1001-02P
3.3	The measuring sensor (086a) must contact the outboard humps (arrow)	MODEL 204 (except 204.08/09/28/29/38/9) With new cross strut (17b) The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate. In order to prevent the measuring sensor (086a) on the cross strut (17b) and therefore an erroneous measurement, the measuring sensor (086a) must be mounted between the cast-in humps (arrows) and pressed towards the wheel. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 1 (left front) and Measuring point 2 (right front) and save measured values.
3.3		Vehicle level - front axle Electronic inclinometer gotis://F_40.2_02.0	*BE40.20-P-1001-02P
4	Mount the measuring sensor (086a) on rear axle shaft (65) and read off vehicle level on the inclinometer (086)	The measurement sensor connecting cable (086b) must face towards the vehicle center. Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate. Measure vehicle level at Measuring point 3 (left rear) and Measuring point 4 (right rear) and store measured values.
4		MODEL 204	*BE40.20-P-1001-03P
5	Check the maximum permissible difference in vehicle level between the left and right side of the vehicle	If the vehicle level at the front or rear axle is out of tolerance, the springs and spring-rubber mounts must be checked for signs of wear and damage. The specified test tolerance applies only when checking the vehicle level but not for calibration.
