Introduction to Maserati
Modular Transmission Shaft
INITIAL RUN The INITIAL RUN phase is a data acquisition phase performed by the tester. The tester measures the shaft unbalance and stores the data as a basis for comparison of the subsequent measurements For data acquisition, the transmission shaft must run at a speed between 2850 – 3150 RPM (equivalent to 2800 engine RPM read on the instrument panel when 5th gear is selected) and must be kept at this speed throughout the data acquisition phase. To easily reach the required RPM, set “SEQUENTIAL MANUAL” operation to progressively arrive at engaging 5th gear. Hold the accelerator pedal depressed until reaching the required RPM values, keep them constant throughout the data acquisition phase and wait for the result. Initial Run OK If the data acquisition phase is successfully completed, it means that the tester has been calibrated using an unbalance value that does not exceed the maximum value set in the tester. Subsequently, you automatically go to the TRIAL RUN phase. Initial Run NOT OK If the data acquisition phase is not completed successfully, it means that the tester has measured an unbalance value that exceeds the maximum value set in the tester. The system will automatically prompt you to position a rebalancing weight of 4.5 grams on the flange stud bolt marked with number 1 (Position 1).
