HEADLIGHTS
NOTE: The bulb portion of a headlight is fragile.
HANDLE WITH CARE. When replacing a headlight
bulb, do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If
the glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a dry
cloth before installing. Skin oil residue on the bulb
will shorten the life of the bulb.
To replace a headlight bulb, use the following proce-
dure.
1. Rotate the bulb assembly counterclockwise and
remove from the headlight housing; then discon-
nect from the wiring harness.
2. Connect the new bulb assembly to the wiring har-
ness connector; then insert into the headlight hous-
ing and rotate fully clockwise.
TAILLIGHT-BRAKELIGHT
To replace the taillight-brakelight bulb, use the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Turn the bulb socket assembly counterclockwise
and remove from the housing.

and turn it clockwise to secure.
CHECKING/ADJUSTING
HEADLIGHT AIM
The headlights can be adjusted vertically and horizon-
tally. The geometric center of the HIGH beam light
zone is to be used for vertical and horizontal aiming.
1. Position the ATV on a level floor so the headlights
are approximately 6.1 m (20 ft) from an aiming
surface (wall or similar aiming surface).
ATV-0070C
NOTE: There should be an average operating
load on the ATV when adjusting the headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the
mid-point of each headlight.
3. Using the measurements obtained in step 2, make
horizontal marks on the aiming surface.
4. Make vertical marks which intersect the horizontal
marks on the aiming surface directly in front of the
headlights.
5. Switch on the lights. Make sure the HIGH beam is
on. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe each headlight beam aim. Proper aim is
when the most intense beam is centered on the ver-
tical mark 5 cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark
on the aiming surface.
! WARNING
Do not attempt to remove a bulb when it is hot. Severe
burns may result.
