& PRECAUTIONS

1. MAINTAIN A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Keep work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding work space.
2. DO NOT FORCE THE EQUIPMENT
The Turn Tables will do the work better and safer below or at the weight capacity
(3,000 lbs. or 1.5 Tons per pair) for which they were designed. Do not exceed the
weight capacity. The Turn Tables will break under dynamic loading.
Caution: Always be aware of Dynamic Loading. If you drop a weight on the Turn
Tables, it may create for a brief instant, an excess load. The Turn Tables are designed
for 3,000 lbs. or 1.5 Tons per pair maximum load; do not exceed.
3. MAKE SURE THE TURN TABLES ARE POSITIONED ON A DRY, FLAT, LEVEL
SURFACE
Do not position the Turn Tables on an uneven surface or a surface covered with ice,
grease, oil, or any other substance that may cause the Turn Tables to tip over or slide
when driving a vehicle up onto the Turn Tables.
4. ADDITIONAL HELP MAY BE REQUIRED TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE ONTO THE
TURN TABLES
Another person, standing a safe distance away from the vehicle, may be needed to act
as a visual guide as you drive the vehicle onto the Turn Tables.
5. ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE SLOWEST SPEED POSSIBLE WHEN DRIVING THE
VEHICLE ONTO AND OFF OF THE TURN TABLES
6. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN POSITIONED ON THE TURN TABLES
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE ENGINE, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, AND
BLOCK THE REAR TIRES
Never attempt to use the Turn Tables while the engine is running. Turn off the engine,
set the parking brake, carefully exit the vehicle, and block the rear tires with wheel
chocks or blocks of wood to prevent the vehicle from rolling while being serviced.
7. NOTE
It is recommended that the vehicle manufacturer’s manual, and/or a qualied
technician, be consulted to determine the front end wheel alignment degree of
tolerance difference allowable for the vehicle make and model being tested.
8. NEVER WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE WITHOUT USING ADDITIONAL
SAFETY SUPPORT DEVICES (I.E., JACK STANDS) TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE.
The Turn Tables are not designed to be used with jack stands and no one should
work under vehicle while vehicle is on Turn Tables.

PROPER POSITIONING OF THE TURN TABLES
CAUTION: Make sure the Turn Tables are positioned on a dry, at, level surface capable
of supporting the weight of the Turn Tables and vehicle being tested. Do not position the
Turn Tables on an uneven surface or a surface covered with ice, grease, oil, or any other
substance that may cause the Turn Tables to tip over or slide when driving a vehicle up
onto the Turn Tables.
1. To determine the correct distance between the Turn Tables, it is recommended
that you measure the distance (on-center) between the front tires of the
vehicle that is to be driven onto the Turn Tables. Then, use the same on-center
measurement to position the Turn Tables. (See Figure A.)
2. When positioning the Turn Tables on the oor surface, make sure the side that has
the Scale Pin (part #11) faces outward on both sides of the vehicle. (See Figure A,
and Assy. Diagram.)
3. Make sure to evenly align the Turn Tables on the oor surface area. (See Figure A)
WHEN DRIVING A VEHICLE ONTO THE TURN TABLES
1. After the Turn Tables are properly positioned, check to make sure the two Pins (part
#1) in each Turn Table are inserted through the Top Plate (part #4) and Base (part
#9). Also, make sure the Scale Pin (part #11) is at the “0” setting on the Scale Plate
(part #2). (See Figures B, C, and Assy. Diagram.)
2. Another person, standing a safe distance away from the vehicle, may be needed to
act as a visual guide as you drive the vehicle onto the Turn Tables.
3. When the Turn Tables are properly aligned with the vehicle’s front tires, make sure
to approach and drive straight onto the Turn Tables at the slowest possible speed.
4. Stop the vehicle when the front tires are centered with the Scale Pin (part #11). (See
Figure B, C, and Assy. Diagram.)

5. Immediately turn off the engine, set the parking brake, carefully exit the vehicle, and
block the rear tires with wheel chocks or blocks of wood to prevent the vehicle from
rolling while being serviced.
6. Remove the two Pins (part #1) from each Turn Table. (See Figures B, C, and Assy.
Diagram.)
7. Turn the steering wheel of the vehicle as far to the right as possible, and hold the
steering wheel while another person takes an accurate reading (in 0 to 45 degree
increments) from the Scale Plate (part #2) of each Turn Table.
8. Compare the readings taken from the Scale Plate (part #2) of each Turn Table.
9. Turn the steering wheel of the vehicle as far to the left as possible, and hold while
another person takes an accurate reading (in 0 to 45 degree increments) from the
Scale Plate (part #2) of each Turn Table.
10. Compare the readings taken from the Scale Plate (part #2) of each Turn Table.

11. As with most vehicles, if the two Scale Plate (part #2) comparison readings
differ from only 0 to 5 degrees, this will indicate no front wheel alignment
adjustment is necessary. Should the comparison readings differ over 5 degrees,
it is recommended that the front end wheel alignment be serviced by a qualied
technician.
12. NOTE: It is further recommended that the vehicle manufacturer’s manual, and/or
a qualied technician, be consulted to determine the front end wheel alignment
degree of tolerance difference allowable for the vehicle make and model being
tested.
13. Once the front end alignment test has been performed, remove the wheel chocks
or blocks of wood from the rear tires of the vehicle, and make sure to back the
vehicle in reverse gear off the Turn Tables at the slowest possible speed.
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Turn Tables. Check for loose
screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any other
condition that may affect their safe operation. If a problem exists, immediately
discontinue using the Turn Tables and have them serviced by a qualied technician.
DO NOT USE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
2. Keep the Turn Tables free of oil and grease. Use only a mild detergent and damp
cloth when cleaning. DO NOT use a ammable or combustible solvents to clean
the Turn Tables.
3. Once clean, lubricate all moving parts with a light oil.
