Betjeningsvejledning
- Køretøjsforberedelse: Park the vehicle on a level surface. Ensure the steering wheel is centered and locked.
- Fastgørelse af Clamp to the Tire: Position the tire clamp against the tire. Use the adjustment knob to tighten the clamp securely onto the tire. Ensure the clamp is centered and stable. The clamp is designed to grip the tire directly, making it suitable for wheels with irregular rims.
- Brug af vaterpas: Klamp features a built-in bubble level to assist in ensuring the clamp is horizontally aligned before taking measurements. Adjust the clamp until the bubble is centered.
- Zeroing Technique for Accuracy: For maximum precision, use a digital level or a straight rod method to compare the clamp’s angle with the wheel’s outer rim. Adjust the clamp or the vehicle's position as needed to match for precision alignment. This ensures the clamp is perfectly parallel to the wheel's rotational axis.
- Performing Alignment Measurements: Når clamp is securely and accurately mounted, attach your preferred alignment gauge (e.g., digital camber gauge, camera-tracking target) to the magnetic adapter plate or directly to the clamp's mounting points. Follow the instructions for your specific alignment gauge to perform the necessary measurements (camber, caster, toe, etc.).
- Fjernelse af Clamp: After measurements are complete, loosen the adjustment knob and carefully remove the clamp fra dækket.

Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Clamp does not grip tire securely. | Adjustment knob not tightened sufficiently; incorrect leg size used; tire surface is excessively dirty or oily. | Ensure adjustment knob is fully tightened. Verify correct leg size for tire. Clean tire surface before attachment. |
| Legs are difficult to switch. | Spring-loaded pins are stiff or dirty; debris in leg slots. | Clean and lubricate spring-loaded pins. Clear any debris from leg slots. |
| Magnetic adapter plate does not hold gauges firmly. | Plate or gauge magnet is dirty; magnetic strength reduced. | Clean both the adapter plate and the gauge magnet. If magnetic strength is permanently reduced, the plate may need replacement. |
| Inaccurate alignment readings. | Clamp not level; clamp not securely attached; vehicle not on level surface; steering wheel not centered. | Use the built-in bubble level and zeroing technique to ensure the clamp is perfectly level and parallel to the wheel. Ensure the clamp is tightly secured. Verify vehicle is on a level surface and steering wheel is centered. |
