Notes on measuring the drive shaft articulation angle - AH41.10-P-0002-01LF

MODEL 205, 222 

Problems concerning drivetrain vibrations or irregular acceleration may be because of a deviation of the inclination angle from the specified value.

The front and rear engine mount should not be damaged, worn or under stress when the inclination angle is measured. If necessary, install new engine mounts or relieve the stress on the engine mounts.

Measurement of the inclination angle can be performed using two different measuring instruments. The measuring instrument must have a graphic black-white display, the most up-to-date software release and a memory to store up to six inclination angles.

• Measuring instruments with graphic black-white display have been shipped since the end of 2003. When these instruments are switched on, a Romess logo appears on the display. The black and white display is larger that the old 4-line green display.
• For measuring instruments with graphic black and white display that have a memory for only four inclination angles, an upgrade kit to allow measurement of up to six inclination angles is available.
• If an older measuring instrument (with 4-line green display) or an instrument (with graphic display) with a memory for only four inclination angles is used, the inclination angle measurement must be performed using the inclination measurement function.
