5.5 - (truck only) Axle confi guration
The Axle Confi guration page allows confi guring the axles of trucks, buses or semi-trailers
You can confi gure up to 7 axles of which 2 front ones as steering axles and 5 rear axles; the last rear axles can
be confi gured as steering axles. On this page, select the reference axle, i.e. the rear axle used to establish,
together with the fi rst front axle, the direction of the truck symmetry axis. The reference axle is highlighted
by the black vertical arrow in the middle of the axle; the fi rst time you confi gure, place the rear measuring
heads on it.
To select the reference axle, follow these criteria in order of priority:
Axle 1. with possibility to adjust the thrust angle. In the case of a semi-trailer, if it is not possible to adjust
the thrust angle for any axle, select the one where the tyres are less worn, as they will be better alig-
ned with the fi fth wheel pin compared to the other axles
Non-steering axle to prevent movement during the procedure 2.
Axle as far as possible to the rear 3.
Axle with possibility to adjust the distance between the wheels and the chassis 4.
The software automatically sets the last rear non-steering axle as reference axle, since this is the most
common case. To set a different axle, confi gure as steering axles the ones you do not want to use as reference
axle. The only purpose of confi guring the axles as steering and non-steering is to select the reference axle
and it has no effect on the alignment procedure.
