LIGHT BAR LAMP

VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR LIGHT BAR LAMP ALIGNMENT

1. Repair or replace any ineffective or damaged components that could hinder proper lamp alignment.

2. Verify proper tire inflation.

3. Clean light bar lamp lenses.

4. Verify that cargo area is not heavily loaded.

5. The fuel tank should be Full. Add 2.94 kilograms (6.5 pounds) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of missing fuel.

LIGHT BAR LAMP ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 feet) away from the front of the headlamp lens. If necessary, tape a line on the floor at the appropriate distance away from and parallel to the wall.

2. Measure up on the wall 2.36 meters (93 inches) from the floor and tape a horizontal line on the alignment screen that is approximately as long as the vehicle is wide. This line will be used for the light bar lamp up-and-down (vertical) adjustment reference.

LIGHT BAR LAMP ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Only the vertical aim of the light bar lamp beams is adjustable.




1. Rock the vehicle from side-to-side three times to allow the suspension to stabilize, then jounce the front suspension three times by pushing downward on the front bumper and releasing.

2. Turn the adjusting screw (2) on the back of the light bar lamp (1) until the beam intensity pattern is centered on the up-and-down (vertical) adjustment reference tape on the alignment screen.

3. Repeat the adjustment procedure for each lamp as required.
