PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE

CHECKING THE STEERING ANGLES

1. Area (checking surface) – it must be as horizontal as possible.
2. Wheels, tires – check (from equipping point of view) to have same type of wheels and

tires on both axles (dimensions, inflating pressure, wear degree). A pronounced wear is not
allowing the correct horizontal positioning.

3. Suspension – check the shock absorbers, springs condition and height symmetry under

carriage body.

4. Joints – check the elastic joints condition, steering and suspension ball joints clearance,

bearings clearances of the front and rear axles

5. Radial and axial run out of the wheels – must not be over 1 mm. This will be compensated

with the reading instruments.

6. Manufacturer’s method – each vehicle manufacturer is providing the checking conditions,

axles weights repartition, and presentation of under carriage body heights, not loaded.

OIL CONSUMPTION MEASURING

a) Oil filling to maximal level
This operation is to be performed when the engine is warm (one engine fan rotation) and after

a stabilization of 15 minutes, necessary to the oil complete draining into the lower crankshaft.

Check the oil at the oil-indicating rod.
Fill to the maximal level.
Seal the draining and filling taps (mark them with paint), for further checking if these have not

been dismounted

b) Customer driving time
Ask the customer to drive for about 2000 km or until the oil reaches the minimal level.

c) Refilling to the maximal level
This operation is to be performed when the engine is warm (one engine fan rotation) and after

a stabilization of 15 minutes.

Check the oil at the oil-indicating rod.
Fill to the maximal level.
Write down the oil quantity and the driven mileage after filling to the maximal level.

d) Oil consumption measuring
