HEADLIGHT AIMING




1. Adjust the headlight aiming by turning the adjusting screws.

CAUTION: Before checking the headlight aiming, be sure of the following:
- Turn off the light before adjusting headlight aiming. If the light is necessary to check aiming, do not turn on for more than two minutes.
- The area around the headlight has not sustained any accident, damage or other type of deformation.
- Vehicle is parked on level ground.
- The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
- Vehicle's gas tank is fully charged.
- Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
- Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.

NOTE: Adjust vertical aim first, then horizontal aim.




2. Look at the beam angle gauge (vertical movement). The bubble on the gauge should not deviate from the center of the gauge.




3. Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal movement). The center mark (the red line on the inner scale) should not deviate from the red line on the outer case.
