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

Press MEMORY button on articulation angle meter once.
The main menu appears.
Press the MEMORY button again.
The memory displays the measured angles (a, b, d) and the resulting articulation angle ∠1 (c) and articulation angle ∠2 (e).
Record inclination angle ∠1 (c) e.g. +0.26° and inclination angle ∠2 (e) e.g. +0.58° on the data sheet.
Press the STEP button.

Calculate the inclination angles from the differences between the respective angle measurements. Inclination angle ∠1: Transmission to front half of propeller shaft.
Inclination angle ∠2: Front half of propeller shaft to rear half of propeller shaft.

Inclination angle ∠3: Rear half of propeller shaft to rear axle differential.

If a value 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.
