3. Horizontal Alignment
The Forward Looking Radar must be facing straight ahead (azimuth) of the vehicle in order to optimally detect objects in the vehicle path.
1. Select two truck reference points that are identical and symmetrical about the truck centerline. Ensure the reference points
are equally aligned. Items such as fenders and headlights should not be damaged or distorted; otherwise the alignment will be
inaccurate.
2. Center a 4'-6' (1-2m) straight edge across a flat surface of the forward looking radar bracket.
3. Measure the distance between the reference points and the face of the straight edge.
