Chapter I Introduction
Introduction
The document covers basic and advanced
software features which may or may not be
included in all aligner models. This document
primarily is designed to cover software naviga-
tion and features with minimum regard to the
hardware platform in which it resides. There
are several variations of aligner models each
of which may utilize different features of the
base software package. References are often
made to other sections of the Manual.
Assembly and Setup
Installation and setup of a new aligner must
be handled by a qualied Technical Repre-
sentative.
All software is loaded onto the computer’s
hard drive. The software shipped with the unit
serve as a backup and is not needed when
performing alignments.
Instructions for operational setup of the aligner
program are covered in detail in Section 2 of
this Operator’s Manual. The setups for the PC
hardware and Microsoft Windows® are preset
at the factory and should not be altered.
Power On Sequence
The main power switch is located on the back
side of the Computer Console. Turn the com-
puter console switch ON. Some models will
automatically boot to the alignment program
others may require pressing the on switch of
the PC to begin the power-on sequence.
When the power switch is turned on, the unit
initiates the computer boot-up. Text should
appear on the screen as boot-up begins and
counting numbers are shown as the memory
of the unit is checked and veried. Many ad-
ditional lines of computer conguration will ap-
pear on screen and scroll up as the computer
completes the system boot sequence. The
Home screen will appear next as the software
nishes loading.
The boot sequence will take a few moments.
If any problems are encountered during the
Power On boot-up sequence, consult the
service representative in your area.
Software
There are several ways to control movement
within the aligner program. First, each unit is
shipped with a pointing device – a mouse. The
unit can be equipped with an optional hand-
held remote control whose various buttons
permit full aligner function. Study the Figures
on the following pages carefully to become
familiar with the functions of each button.
Windows® is a point-and-click software envi-
ronment. The Aligner software follows Win-
dows® navigation conventions. Use the point-
ing device to navigate through the software
as you would with any Windows® program.
Most functions require a single mouse click
to initiate, while a few require double-clicks.
The right mouse button is not utilized within
the alignment software.
A standard keyboard is included for data entry.
All aligner functions can also be controlled
from the keyboard as well as the remote. The
function keys (F1 - F12) located on the top
row of the keyboard have decals that are the
equivalent of the remote and keypad buttons.
Refer to the diagram for identication of the
icons and their respective functions.
The keyboard has a “Print Screen” key. When
this key is pressed the currently displayed
screen will be captured and printed.

Chapter III Operation
Steps to Performing a 4-Wheel Alignment
There are many reasons why a wheel alignment may be performed on a vehicle such as:
Accelerated or uneven tire wear
Pull, wandering, or other steering / handling problems
After replacement of worn suspension or steering system components
After-collision repairs
Routine vehicle maintenance
Regardless of the reasons for alignment, it is important that the technician performs these Basic steps neces-
sary to address and correct all problems. Other diagnostics are available for advanced testing.
1. Gather information from the vehicle owner – ask about any symptoms of misalignment. Inquire if the vehicle
has been in a collision or has had any parts replaced recently.
2. Perform a test drive to verify owner’s complaint – try to recreate the problem. If unable to duplicate, have
the vehicle owner explain further or have him/her drive with you.
3. Place vehicle on the alignment lift – center the vehicle on the lift and turntables. Raise the lift to a solid,
level lock position.
4. Inspect the tires for any signs of abnormal wear – tires often reect many misalignment conditions.
5. Perform a thorough component inspection. Replace defective parts prior to performing the alignment. Always
check tire pressure and ride height.
6. Mount measuring targets/pods to the vehicles wheels. Use the safety straps in the event of grip failure.
7. Choose the proper Wizard procedure for the vehicle.
8. Perform compensation or rollback – the purpose of performing compensation is to eliminate measurement
errors due to the wheel runout and clamp mounting error.
9. Measure caster, camber, and toe.
10. Determine what needs to be done – Examine the vehicle and any reference materials to determine the pro-
cedures for angle corrections. Determine what items are needed to correct any problems (i.e. aftermarket
kits, special tools, etc.).
11. Make any needed angle corrections – center the steering wheel carefully when prompted. Use this order
of adjustment:
a. Rear camber
b. Rear toe
c. Front caster
d. Front camber
e. Front toe
12. Re-center the steering wheel and readjust front toe if needed – crooked steering wheels are the leading
cause of customer dissatisfaction with wheel alignments.
13. Print the results – the printout is useful for showing the customer before and after results. Many shops keep
a printout on le for future reference.
14. Perform a test drive to verify proper alignment.

Chapter III Operation
Basic Alignment Procedures
Positioning the Vehicle on the Lift
Proper vehicle positioning on the alignment lift is an
important step for safety and accuracy.
1. Make sure the front turntable and rear slip plate
locking pins are in place.
NOTE: Steps2-5arerecommendedtomakesurethefront
tires are placed in the center of the turntables.
NOTE: If an optional drive-on camera aid is available
proceed to step 2, if not available skip to step 3.
2. From the Home Screen click on the “Rack Drive-on
Aid” icon located on the upper tool-bar. View the
screen while positioning the vehicle.
3. Drive the vehicle onto the alignment lift and stop
just before the turntables. Take care to insure the
vehicle is centered on the runways.
4. Place the vehicle in park (or in gear on a standard
transmission), turn the ignition off, and set the park-
ing brake on. Place wheel chocks behind the tires
to prevent rolling.
Failure to use the wheel chocks can allow the vehicle to
roll off the rack/lift.
5. Position the turntables as needed to insure the tires
will be centered.
6. Drive the vehicle forward onto the center of the
turntables.
AlternativeMethod: Thismethodextendsturntablelifedue
to relief of load and stresses encountered when the brakes
are applied (or acceleration on a FWD vehicle).
7. Place the vehicle in neutral, release the parking
brake, and pull or push the vehicle forward onto the
turntables. Reposition the wheel chocks, place the
vehicle in park, reapply the parking brake.
To avoid personal injury or damage to property, follow
the rack/lift manufacturer’s operating and safety proce-
dures.
8. Raise the alignment lift, then lower the lift onto its
mechanical stops.
9. Place the transmission in neutral and release the
parking brake just before beginning the Vehicle
Positioning process.

Chapter III Operation
Attach the Targets/Pods
The targets/pods are attached to the wheels using the
wheel clamps. The targets go on the front wheels, the
measuring pods on the rear.
There are several methods of attachment depending
on the wheel lip conguration. The integrated claws
provide the versatility needed to grab virtually any
wheel. The claws can be rotated to adjust for different
wheel congurations.
Clawsmayhavesharpedges.Toavoidpersonalinjury,use
caution when working with wheel clamps.
The clamps should be installed in a straight-up vertical
manner (knob at the top).
Use the mounting method that provides the greatest
security to keep the target from falling off the wheel.
Most wheels can be grabbed from the outside-in by
placing the claws between the bead of the tire and the
outside edge of the rim. Others can be mounted on
the inside of the rim such as with steel wheels.
For outside rim mounting:
1. Extend the clamp to a size slightly larger than the
rim by turning the knob.
2. Place the upper claws on the outside of the top
of the rim. Push the claws in between the tire
bead and the rim. It may be necessary to “pop”
the upper clamp bracket with the palm of your
hand to seat well. Note that it is not necessary for
the clamp to be mounted perfectly vertical on the
wheel.
3. Tighten the clamp by turning the knob clockwise
until the lower claws engage the rim.
4. Push the lower claws into place. Again, it may
be necessary to pop them in further for security.
Continue tightening the knob until secure.
5. Test the security by pulling outwards on the
clamp. If it comes off easily, reattach the clamp or
select an alternative mounting method.

Chapter III Operation
Begin Wizard Procedure
The Wizard procedure sets the aligner to follow a cer-
tain process path resulting in a completed alignment.
Each pre-programmed procedure, called a Wizard,
sets the aligner up to perform certain functions in a
predetermined order and determines whether certain
functions can be skipped.
Wizard versus Manual Operation
When the Run Wizard icon is selected from the Home
Screen, the alignment process is performed using the
Wizard that is currently selected.
Special Wizard Procedures (Optional)
Several special procedures are pre-programmed
to follow manufacturer’s recommended alignment
methods.
When the Aligner is turned on for the  rst time a “factory
default” Wizard is in place. Special as well as OEM
Wizards can be set to default.
