Radar Alignment set up: Set up the mirror parallel to the drive wheel, in front of the center line of
the radar module. This is an essential and important first step!

Distance set: 1.2m from radar
module to mirror surface
maximum of 1.8m

Place a Bar (conduit or straight tube)
in front of the front wheels to make a
reference plane for the front mirror
this needs to be parallel to the radar!
Ensure all vehicle tires and entire
mirror assembly are on a single flat
area.
If possible do not place rear wheels
and mirror on separate floor sections.
