Vehicle Set Up: Description

Accurate adjustment of the radar alignment requires that the ICC target board, wheel adapter, laser assembly, and stationary target be properly positioned.

1. PREPOSITION TARGET BOARD 
   NOTE:

   • The center of the sensor wave axis (A) is located at the center of the front lens.

   • To locate the ICC sensor, and to identify the sensor wave axis center (A) easily, measure 4.5 in (115 mm) (H) down from the center of the recovery hook cover, and 0.5 in (13 mm) (W) to the right when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

   • Initial ICC target board setting must be in the center position.
   1. Position the ICC target board in front facing the right front side of the vehicle:
      • Using the full length of the supplied chain for distance, place the marked center of the ICC target board (1) 1375 mm (54.1 in.) ± 625 mm (24.6 in) facing the ICC sensor.
      • Adjust the height of the ICC target board using the adjustable nut (2) to achieve the proper height. The up/down tolerance is ± 80 mm (3.15 in).
      • Adjust the ICC target board lateral position aligning the marked center of the board horizontally with the center of the ICC sensor front lens. The right/left tolerance is ± 80 mm (3.15 in).

   2. Extend the machined arm of the ICC target board exposing the reflective surface (3) to the right front side of the vehicle.
   3. Place one side of the laser assembly (2) flush against the center of the ICC target board (1) to assist in the positioning.

   4. Turn the laser assembly ON (3) allowing the laser beam to emit through the opening of the laser assembly toward the center of the ICC sensor.
   5. Move the ICC target board (1) as necessary so that center of ICC target board aligns with center of ICC sensor.
   6. Turn the laser assembly OFF when done.

      Are you using Hunter alignment equipment? 

      YES: Refer to Hunter's equipment instructions for complete vehicle set up and ICC target board setting. Then, refer to "ICC SENSOR ADJUSTMENT ".

      NO: GO TO 2.

2. INSTALLING LASER ASSEMBLY 
   NOTE:

   • Insure the steering wheel is positioned in the center straight forward position.
   • Insure all 4 vehicle wheels do not contain any physical damage.
   1. Install the wheel adapter (1) on the right front wheel.
   2. Mount the laser assembly (2) to the wheel adapter (1) as shown in the figure below.
      NOTE: When the power switch is turned ON, the front laser signal (A) will be emitted toward the front ICC target board, and the rear laser signal (B) will be emitted toward the rear of the vehicle.

      : GO TO 3.

3. SETTING UP STATIONARY TARGET 
   1. Place the stationary target next to the right rear tire as shown in the figure below.

   2. Turn the laser assembly ON allowing the laser beam to be emitted through the front and rear laser assembly openings.
   3. Measure and record the distance (Dr) between the edge of the right rear wheel and the laser beam (1) on the stationary target (horizontal line).

   4. Measure and record the height (Hr) between the laser beam (1) on the stationary target and ground level (vertical line).
   5. Measure and record the distance (Df) between the edge of the right front wheel and the laser beam signal/opening (1) on the laser assembly (horizontal line).
   6. Measure and record the height (Hf) between the laser beam signal/opening (1) on the laser assembly and ground level (vertical line).
      NOTE:

      • Horizontal adjustment [front distance (Df) and rear distance (Dr)] is accomplished by slowly turning the steering wheel until the 2 distances are the same.
      • Vertical adjustment [front height (Hf) and rear height (Hr)] is accomplished by rotating the laser assembly around its axis until the two heights are the same.
      • Directional arrows (A) and (B) are shown to illustrate the direction of the laser assembly beams.
   7. Adjust laser beam as necessary until the two distances match and the two heights match.
      NOTE: You will have to verify both horizontal and vertical adjustments anytime one adjustment is made.
