, the floor slope of the bay, or bays must be

determined, this is done by using the floor slope laser assembly and noting the position of the rear floor slope
wheel.

If the correct floor slope of the bay is not adjusted prior to any headlamp alignment, the technician will align
the headlamps in a higher, or lower position than what is correct. The CVA 3

will need to be performed in each bay and recorded.








Lower the optical head to the bottom of the mast. Adjust optical head by rotating eccentric wheel at rear of
base until level vial registers level. Turn the laser on.

At the center point of the front wheel of the vehicle measure the distance from the floor to the point where the
