Instructions for Use of Checking and Straightening Bench Systems  

To ensure a precise repair of the deformed main body, use checking and straightening bench systems. More information on hydraulic dozers, straightening benches, straightening lifting platforms can be found in the workshop equipment catalogue (Opel/Vauxhall) from the GME Aftersales division. With these systems, it is not only possible to check floor frame groups for distortion, it is also possible to align immediate body sections and, if necessary, to attach and accurately weld in new body parts. Measurement and inspection options for the floor frame group and the main body are given in the relevant underbody dimension chart as well as in the body dimension chart.  

Observe the user instructions and regulations of the manufacturer of the straightening system.  

The following check points are provided on the underbody for locating or scanning:
