2.6 CHECKING WHEEL DEFLECTION
Work safely and block the vehicle
so that it cannot slide off the
turning plates.
Checking wheel deflection
1.
Engage the vehicle parking brake and place
chocks in front of and behind the rear
wheels.
2.
Jack up the steerable axles and place
turning plates under the centre of the
wheels.
Only use turning plates that permit wheel
displacement caused by the wheel offset.
3.
Place the wheels in the “straight ahead”
position and lower them until they rest on
the turning plates. Set the turning plates to
zero.
4.
Turn the steering wheel fully clockwise to
the end stop and check the wheel deflection
on the right, see “Technical data”.
5.
Turn the steering wheel fully anticlockwise
to the end stop and check the wheel
deflection on the left, see “Technical data”.
It is not possible set the maximum wheel
deflection.
