Longacre 78290 Digital Caster_Camber Gauge with AccuLevel ( User Manual download pdf

1) Find a level place to set up your front end. This unit reads camber and caster very accurately.

Unlevel ground will affect that accuracy. SEE BELOW IF GROUND IS NOT LEVEL.

2) Attach the gauge to the spindle. Be sure that the surface you attach to is machined square to the

spindle and doesn't have any nicks or burrs. BE SURE WHEELS ARE POINTED STRAIGHT

AHEAD WHEN SETTING CAMBER.

Rotate the gauge until the small vial on the top of the

gauge shows level.

3) CAMBER: Turn on the

AccuLevel™

. Camber is read directly on the display to .1

(1/10

Be sure the display is not flashing. This indicates it is in Caster Mode - CASTER see below. Push

CASTER button to exit Caster and get into get into Camber Mode - steady display reading.

See separate

AccuLevel™

instructions if needed. On the left side of the display a pointing up indicates negative

camber (top of tire in). A pointing down indicates positive camber (top of tire out). Race cars usually use negative

camber on RF and positive camber on LF. This is helpful when using small camber numbers - less that 1

4) CASTER is measured digitally on this version - up to 45

negative or 45

positive. First turn the

wheels 15

to the right when setting the RF or 15

left when setting LF. (NOTE: THIS IS DIFFER-

ENT THAN WHEN USING VIAL GAUGES WHICH USE 20

. IT IS IMPORTANT TO TURN

THE WHEELS EXACTLY 15

FOR MAXIMUM ACCURACY.)

Rotate gauge until it is level.

5) Turn on the

AccuLevel™

and push the CASTER button. The display will flash on and off to

indicate caster is being measured. Push ZERO - display now reads 0

. Now turn the wheels back past

center to 15

the opposite way - for a total of 30

(AGAIN THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHEN USING VIAL

GAUGES)

. Rotate the gauge again to level and read the caster directly on the display to 1/10

(Some previously models required you to double this number - NOT with this version.)

6) Adjust the caster and camber as needed. Each time you make a change bounce on the front end to

settle the suspension. NOTE: Adjusting the caster may have an effect on the camber and vice versa.

Double check settings. Tighten all bolts when done.

NOTE: If display flashes on and off

AccuLevel™

is in Caster mode and will not read absolute angles

correctly. Push CASTER button to exit Caster Mode.

IF GROUND IS NOT LEVEL :

Before checking camber remove

place on ground parallel to axle centerline. If it does not

side of the car and will compensate for non-level ground.

operation.
