Headlight Bulb


the housing. Do not touch the glass portion of the
bulb. If the glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a
dry cloth before installing.

bulb; then remove the rubber grommet from the
headlight housing.
2. Rotate the bulb retainer counterclockwise until it
unlocks from the housing; then remove the bulb.

3. Install the bulb and retainer; then rotate the retainer
clockwise until it properly locks in place.
4. Install the rubber grommet; then connect the head-
light harness connector to the bulb.
5. Check headlight aim (see Adjusting Headlight Aim
in this sub-section).
Adjusting Headlight Aim
The headlight can be adjusted for vertical aim of the
HIGH/LOW beam. The geometric center of HIGH beam
zone is to be used for vertical aiming.
1. Position the snowmobile on a level floor so the head-
light is approximately 25 ft from an aiming surface
(wall or similar surface).

NOTE: There should be an “average” operating load
on the snowmobile when adjusting headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to midpoint of
the headlight.
3. Using the measurement obtained in step 2, make a
horizontal mark on the aiming surface.
! WARNING
Do not operate the snowmobile unless headlight beam
is adjusted properly. An incorrectly adjusted beam will
not provide the operator the optimum amount of light.
