Checking wear in the suspension or steering assembly can now be carried min half the time, claims Kismet-Dynaflex, by means of a pneumatic unit based on Schrader Pneumatics. Designed for use in conjunction with inspection pits, the device consists of two flush steel plates mounted, one each side of the pit, which are " rocked" by pneumatic cylinders and operated from a combined hand-held inspection lamp and control switch.
The vehicle is driven over the pit SO that the wheels are centred on the plates and the axle is jacked up to take the toad. As the operator uses the lamp to inspect the suspension and other components, he can move the plates backwards, forwards or sideways to check for excessive play simply by moving the switch in the appropriate direction.
