Description
  • All dimensions indicated in the figures are actual.

  • When using a tracking 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.

  • An asterisk (*) following 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″.

  • ″Z″: Imaginary base line [200 mm (7.87 in) below datum line (″0Z″ at design plan)]
