headlight is fragile. HANDLE WITH
CARE. When replacing the head-

following procedure.
1. Remove the wiring harness con-
nector from the back of the head-
light.
2. Grasp the bulb housing, turn it
counterclockwise, and remove the
bulb.
3. Install the new bulb into the hous-
ing and rotate it completely clock-
wise.
4. Install the wiring harness connec-
tor.

CHECKING/
ADJUSTING
HEADLIGHT AIM
The headlights can be adjusted verti-
cally and horizontally. 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 approxi-
mately 6.1 m (20 ft) from an aim-
ing surface (wall or similar aiming
surface).
NOTE: There should be an aver-
age 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 inter-
sect 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
vertical mark 5 cm (2 in.) below
the horizontal mark on the aiming
surface.
! WARNING
Do not attempt to remove the bulb
when it is hot. Severe burns may
result.
! CAUTION
When replacing the headlight bulb,
be careful not to touch the glass
portion of the bulb. Grasp the new
bulb with a clean cloth.
! CAUTION
Tighten the lens cover screws only
until they are snug.
