  2. Choose a Body Reference Point
    Choose a spot where you will take your body measurement calculation. We recommend using the lower back part of the front windows, the chassis, frame rails, or indents in the door jam. Any spot where the Gyraliner keys in best. Make sure its a spot you will remember, you will need to come back to this exact spot every time, and both sides of the vehicle need to have the same corresponding measurement spot. Think symmetry.

Five Fast Tips For All Gyraline modes

  1. “Quick and Smooth”
    Reduce how much the Gyraline is moved in between measurements., i.e. keep the Gyraline oriented in the same direction when walking around the vehicle and do not delay in taking subsequent measurements.
  2. “Securely Situated”
    Make sure the prongs of the Gyraliner are properly placed on the surface being measured. Sometimes lips and spokes of wheels can be deceiving.
  3. “Same Spot”
    Take extra care to make the Gyraliner is measuring the same exact spot every time you measure that location.
  4. “Symmetrical Spots”
    Measurements on each side of the vehicle (such as for Toe Body Align) should have the same corresponding measurement point on the other side of the vehicle. Think of “symmetry.”
  5. “When in doubt, restart”
    When in doubt, start over. If you drop the Gyraliner in between measurements, or are not sure you got a good reading, reset the measurement and start again. It only takes a minute or so!
