Headlamp: Adjustments

Check
Check main beam alignment using beam setting equipment. Should this not be available the beam can be temporarily checked and adjusted as follows:-
1. Position vehicle, unladen, on level ground with tyres correctly inflated, approximately 4 meters from a wall or screen, marked as illustrated below.





2. The beam centres 'A' are measured horizontally on the vehicle and headlamp centre dimension 'B' vertically from the ground.





3. Switch on main beam and adjust setting, as necessary, with trimmer screws.
