When using a tram gauge, adjust both pointers to equal length. Then check the pointers and gauge itself to make sure there is no free play.
When a measuring tape is used, check to be sure there is no elongation, twisting or bending.
Measurements should be taken at the center of the mounting holes.
The value at the measuring point indicates that the measuring point on the other side is symmetrically the same value.
The coordinates of the measurement points are the distances measured from the standard line of ″X″, ″Y″ and ″Z″.
