Setup & Installation

Q: How long does it take to set up the PowerVision 2?
A: The PowerVision 3D is remarkably fast and simple and will deliver accurate measurements in record time, depending on the technician's speed.

The system will automatically record measurements of toe and camber on each axle. Push the green button to add the caster measurement. You are ready to start adjustments.

Q: Do I need special floor preparation or permanent installation?
A: No. Unlike cabinet-based systems, the PowerVision 2 requires no permanent installation, floor anchoring, or special preparation. The system also evaluates the level condition of the surface the vehicle rests on, and compensates for unlevel conditions.
