Foreword:
This operating manual describes the functionality of the wheel alignment system and explains operation
of the system and its components step by step. Please read these operating instructions carefully before
starting the system and inform all operators of the steps described in this manual. The wheel alignment
system is designed to simplify and optimize vehicle alignment. However, some safety instructions
must be observed during use. Despite the precise manufacturing tolerances and quality features of the
system, it is important to mention that all measuring systems can only provide accurate results if, in
addition to correct operation, care is taken in the handling and storage of the components. It is expressly
stated that some components (camber gauge, toe laser, etc.) must be inspected regularly to ensure
that they are accurate. In most cases, these checks can be conducted by the operator. These checks
are described insofar as possible in this manual. This manual describes the wheel alignment system,
including all available options.
If you have questions or technical support enquiries, please contact Manthey-Racing GmbH
These instructions are not necessarily exhaustive.

Installation and Conversion Instructions
The measuring wheels serve as a wheel replacement and their design ensures almost unrestricted accessibility to the suspension components during suspension alignment.
Center hubs for other hole circle diameters can be manufactured on request.
NOTICE
•
The perfect configuration - i.e. the adaptation of the measuring wheels to the specific wheel radius - is a
key task and must be carried out with the greatest care.
•
This measuring wheel system allows wheel radii from approx. 300 mm to approx. 360 mm to be covered.
This corresponds to static tire diameters of approx. 600 mm to 720 mm.
This means that a very wide range of road vehicles can be measured using this system.
Possible configurations and thus realisable wheel radii are described in more detail on the following
pages.
The measuring wheels must be adjusted based on the RO data of the installed rims. This allows the
reaction behavior of the measuring system to changes in camber on the vehicle to be aligned with the
behavior of the vehicle wheels.
The offset (ball roller position) is adjusted roughly via the slotted position (adjustment range A or B). Fine
adjustments are made using the supplied RO adjusting shims (1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm).

WARNING

The minimum screw depth (thread length) in the L-bracket foot must always be at least 15 mm.

If RO adjusting shims are not used, the pre-installed M10 x 35 screws must be used.

The supplied M10 x 40 screws must be used for RO adjusting shim thicknesses up to 5 mm.

For RO adjusting shim thicknesses of more than 5.0 mm, fastening screws (M10 x 45) for the L bracket
foot are mandatory. The minimum screw depth (thread length) in the L bracket foot of 15 mm must be
observed.

Fine adjustments are made using the enclosed shims with thicknesses of 1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm.
NOTICE
•
To check this, the vehicle height can be determined in advance using the standard wheels and the height
can be compared after the adjusted measuring wheels have been installed.
•
The possible adjustment range (radius) of the measuring wheels is approximately: 300 mm – 360 mm
WARNING

If more than 3 mm height-adjusting washers have to be installed between the L bracket foot and ball roller,
the pre-installed M8 x 65 screws must be replaced with the M8 x 80 screws supplied. The minimum screw
depth (thread length) in the ball roller of at least 12 mm must be observed. Failure to comply with this can
cause the screws to fail!

The toe lasers on the front and rear axles must be adjusted to form a rectangle when set correctly. This
rectangular area must also be symmetrical. This means that the toe laser on one axle must be set to the
identical value on the laser shaft.
To position the toe laser, the toe-width difference between the front and rear axles must first be
determined. The toe width rule is used for this.
To measure and adjust the toe of the vehicle, the toe lasers must be aligned correctly and all four lasers
must be activated.
The steering must be set to drive straight ahead and secured by suitable means.

 Figure 50 -1- – The laser housings each project a laser beam onto the scale of the laser housing on
the other axle on the same side of the vehicle.
 Figure 50 -2- – It is important to read the values in the middle area of the laser beam. If the beam is
facing too far up or down, there may be slight deviations.
The toe values for the rear wheels are read on the scales on the front axle and the toe values for the front
wheels on the scales on the rear axle.
If the values are to be compared with conventional measurements, they can be converted using the
following formula:
Toe angle [minutes] = (measured value laser [mm] x 5.1) x (3438 / wheelbase [mm] )
The scales used in this system indicate the toe value in millimeters [mm] and have a scale of 5.1:1.
This allows more accurate adjustment and excellent readability.

5.2 Functional test of track lasers and laser shafts
To ensure the correct functioning of the toe laser after improper use or storage, you can perform the
following tests.
First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the measuring wheels are fixed. The laser beam position is read
on the scale of the other axis and noted or marked. After that, the ball locking pin for positioning the
laser housing on the laser shaft is removed and the laser housing is removed. The housing is rotated
180° around the axis of the ball locking bolts, plugged back into the shaft and fixed with the ball locking
pin. The housing is now upside down above the shaft, but the laser beam continues to point in the same
direction as before. If the laser beam continues to indicate the same value as before after rotation, this
means that the laser housing is working properly.

Laser Class 2
Do not look directly into the laser beam
It is now possible to check whether the laser shaft is straight or the screw-on flange is precisely perpendicular to the shaft. The laser shaft is set to any value with the toe laser and the laser beam is projected
onto the scale plate of the other axis on the track laser. Read the displayed value.
Figure 89
 Figure 89 -3- – Laser shaft with the scale set facing upwards. Setting value set to 30 mm for
example purposes.
For test purposes, the shaft is rotated 180° around its central axis so that the scale on the shaft is at
the bottom. The previously set value on the laser shaft must be reset. The position of all other parts is
unchanged. If the laser beam continues to hit the same spot as before after rotation, this indicates that
the laser shaft is straight. The screw-on flange can now also be rotated 180° around the shaft axis to
check it is perpendicular.

5.3 Checking the camber scales
Checking the camber scales
The accuracy of the camber scales should always be checked before use, especially after a fall or when
used at ambient temperatures that differ from the last calibration by more than 5 °C. The camber scales
are checked with the following simple steps.

Figure 91
 Figure 91 -Step 1- – Position the camber scales on a level surface with the display facing in your
direction. The surface does not need to be exactly horizontal. Switch on the camber scales and
wait for 10 seconds. Note the value displayed.
 Figure 91 -Step 2- – Turn the camber scales horizontally by 180 degrees (display is pointing away
from you). Wait 10 seconds and take note of the value displayed.
 Figure 91 -Step 3- – Now turn the vertical camber scale by 180 degrees (display points in your
direction, balance is overhead). Wait 10 seconds and take note of the value displayed.
 Figure 91 -Step 4- – Finally, turn the camber scales once again horizontally by 180 degrees (display
is pointing away from you, scale is still overhead). Wait 10 seconds and record this value.
If the individual values deviate by more than 0.1°, the camber scales MUST be re-calibrated using
“Superset”.
The procedure for carrying out “Superset” is described in the enclosed original instructions.
The following applies when measuring road vehicles:
•
•
Fuel tank is completely full
Driver weight or, alternatively, 75 kg/ 165 lbs positioned on the driver’s seat
