-- Push the measurement button briefly.

The laser switches on.

The laser beam from the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser:VAS 6350/2 -2- must hit the lower, enlarged section of the paddle -1-.

If this is not the case, the paddles must be corrected accordingly via clamping screws on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings:VAS 6350/1 .

-- Use one hand to secure the Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser:VAS 6350/2 in the bracket on the Calibration Tool:VAS 6350 while the laser beam is visible on the paddle.

-- Then press the measurement button for the distance measurement briefly.

-- Note the value.

-- Repeat this measurement on the other side of the Calibration Tool:VAS 6350 in the same way for the front wheel.

The distance value must be the same on both sides.

If values are not identical:

-- Align the Calibration Unit:VAS 6350A long enough so that both sides are identical.

-- When adjusting, make sure the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser:VAS 6350/3A strikes the center above the VW emblem and that the level indicator remains centered. Adjust if necessary.

Dimension measurement -H- :
