	Check
1	Carry out preconditions and tests for vehicle level measurement		AR40.00-P-0202A
2	Clean measuring points	This prevents any measuring errors.
3	Mount measuring sensor (086a) on cross strut (17) and read off vehicle level on inclinometer (086)	The connecting cable (086b) from the measuring sensor (086a) must point to the vehicle center otherwise an erroneous measurement takes place. Mount the measuring sensor (086a) between the cast-in humps (arrows). If there are no humps present (arrows), mount measuring sensor (086a) in the center on the cross strut (17). Measure the vehicle level at Measuring point 1 (left front) and Measuring point 2 (right front) and save the measured values.

		MODEL 218	*BE40.20-P-1001-02V
4	Mount the measuring sensor (086a) on rear axle shaft (65) and read off vehicle level on the inclinometer (086)	The connecting cable (086b) from the measuring sensor (086a) must point to the vehicle center otherwise an erroneous measurement takes place. Measure the vehicle level at Measuring point 3 (left rear) and Measuring point 4 (right rear) and save the measured values.

		MODEL 218	*BE40.20-P-1001-03W
5	Check the maximum permissible difference in vehicle level between the left and right side of the vehicle	The specified test tolerance applies only when checking the vehicle level but not for calibration. If the vehicle level at the front or rear axle is out of tolerance, the springs and spring-rubber bushing must be checked for signs of wear and damage.
