Headlamp Aiming (Mechanical Method)

TOOLS REQUIRED
J25300-E Headlamp Aimer (Mechanical Type), or equivalent

IMPORTANT: When using headlamp aiming equipment which attaches to the headlamps with a suction cup type devise, DO NOT leave the headlamps on while the equipment is attached. On vehicles with plastic headlamps (body styled composite or sealed beam) having the headlamps illuminated when the equipment is attached, may cause heat build-up combined with the suction cup may cause the plastic headlamp lens to become distorted, requiring lamp replacement.

1. Prepare the vehicle for checking beam aim as follows:
^ Place the vehicle on a flat surface.
^ Remove large amounts of mud or ice from the underside of the tenders, if necessary.
^ Check whether tires are noticeably deflated and inflate if necessary.
^ Ensure there is no load in the vehicle other than the driver.
^ Rock the vehicle sideways to stabilize the suspension.
^ Clean the headlamp lenses and aiming pads.
2. Refer to the manufacture's instruction for the correct operation of the headlamp aiming equipment.
