AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Intended use • The AXIS10 mobile car wheel alignment system has been developed to enable wheel alignment measurements to be taken on passenger vehicles and light trucks. • It is used solely for fast measurement of single toe and total toe, camber, toe-out on turn, caster, max.
Page 11
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Structure of the various wheel alignment clamps Wheel alignment clamp with scale and its most important individual parts: Wheel alignment clamp with laser head and its most important individual parts: The laser housing can be freely rotated. After fitting to the vehicle's wheel ensure that the laser beam aperture of the laser heads is directed towards the floor before switching on.
Page 12
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System The electronic inclinometer The electronic inclinometer is used to record angle values on the vehicle geometry. This device enables the camber, caster and included angle to be determined. Angles can be measured in the horizontal and vertical plane depending on the attachment face.

AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Set up toe scales • Both laser housings must be aligned with the help of the spirit level so that the laser beam aperture is pointed vertically onto the floor. • The calculated toe scale spacing must be drawn on the floor twice to define the measuring rectangle.
Page 19
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Set up toe scales (continued) • Place the first toe scale on the floor marking parallel and in front of the front axle. • Move the toe scale so that the laser beam hits the value zero on both scales.
Page 20
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Single toe The AXIS10 can also be used to determine the single toe for each side of the vehicle in vehicles with independent suspension. To determine the single toe, the displayed value for the total toe must be halved first.
Page 21
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Continued: Single toe If the steering wheel has been horizontally 2 mm 2 mm aligned, the single toe for the left and right-hand side of the vehicle can now be read off.
Page 22
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Check after toe adjustment After the toe adjustment has been completed, check whether the front wheels are in the "Drive straight ahead" position. To this end, both laser measuring heads are turned so that the laser beam hits the clip-on scale of the rear wheels.
Page 23
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Camber measurement If the camber has to be adjusted at the vehicle, this step must be carried out BEFORE the toe adjustment as the toe changes when the camber is adjusted.
Page 24
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Caster measurement and steering angle inclination • After the camber measurement the inclinometer stays on the measuring column of the wheel alignment clamp. • The unit is still switched on and displays the last determined camber value.
Page 25
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Front Wheel Alignment Continued: Caster measurement and steering angle inclination After all measured values have been successfully recorded the screen display automatically changes and the absolute values for the caster and steering axis inclination are displayed in degrees and minutes.

AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System 6 Rear Wheel Alignment The front wheels have already been measured and adjusted. Before you can start the rear axle alignment it is necessary to ensure that the front wheels are in the "drive straight ahead"...
Page 27
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Rear Wheel Alignment Set up toe scales The toe scales are set up with the same steps as described under Point 5.3 above for the front wheel alignment. (See also Page 17) • The length of the measuring rectangle must be defined and the dimensions drawn on the floor.
Page 28
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting the toe • This is done by moving the complete front toe scale to the side until the same value is displayed on both scales on the left and right.
Page 29
AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System Rear Wheel Alignment Camber measurement The same steps as described under Item 5.7 above for the front wheel alignment are repeated to record the camber value. (See also Page 22) If the camber has to be adjusted at the vehicle, this step must be carried out BEFORE the toe adjustment as the toe changes when the camber is adjusted.

AXIS10 Mobile Car Wheel Alignment System 7 Maintenance Care and maintenance Please note that the laser measuring heads and their accessories are precision components. Always ensure that these components are used and maintained with the greatest possible care. The laser's lens as well as the inclinometer generally requires no maintenance.
