Page 5: General Safety Instructions
YSTEM General safety instructions 1.1 Duty of care of the operator The AXIS4000 wheel alignment system has been designed and con- structed according to pertinent, mandatory harmonised norms. It therefore conforms to the latest status of technology and offers the maximum degree of safety and reliability during operation. -
Page 6: Suspension Terminology
The total toe is the dimension between the centre-line of the tyres. In the case of twin-wheel axles, the measurement is taken from centre-line to centre-line of the twin wheels. This has a crucial effect on the steering characteristics of the vehicle in bends. An uncorrected toe enables higher speeds in bends. HAWEKA Wheel Alignment –AXIS4000... -

Do you have a question about the AXIS4000 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
The unit has power but the screen is blank
The screen may be blank on the HAWEKA AXIS4000 despite the unit having power due to the following reasons:
1. No connection to the cameras: This could be caused by:
- Low battery power in the camera measurement heads. Recharge using the supplied charging unit.
- Incorrect interface connection settings in the program. Set the interface to AUTO in the settings.
- No or incorrect radio channel for camera connection. Try connecting using a different radio channel.
- Missing USB driver for the receiver. Install the USB driver from the provided USB stick.
2. Camera not detecting signals from reflectors: This could be due to:
- Dirty or damaged reflectors. Clean or replace them.
- Dirty rim surfaces. Clean the rim surfaces.
If these issues persist, further troubleshooting may be required.
