Installing Headlight Bulb
1. Plug the wiring harness into the
headlight bulb.
2. Insert the bulb into the headlight
housing.
3. Lift the front of the console enough
to allow the headlight housing to be
installed; then install the housing
making sure the forks of the housing
go into the grommets on top of the
air-intake silencer. Secure with the
cap screw and lock nut.

4. Position the console onto the air-intake
silencer; then secure with the single
torx-head screw beneath the console
(located between the headlights).
5. Install the two torx-head screws located
to the outside of the headlight adjust-
ment knobs; then tighten securely.
6. 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 geo-
metric center of HIGH beam zone is to be
used for vertical aiming.
1. Position the snowmobile on a level
floor so the headlight is approxi-
mately 8 m (25 ft) from an aiming
surface (wall or similar surface).
NOTE: There should be an “aver-
age” operating load on the snowmo-
bile 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.
4. Make a vertical mark which intersects
the horizontal mark on the aiming sur-
face directly in front of the headlight.
5. Engage the brake lever lock and start
the engine. Move the headlight dim-
mer switch to the HIGH beam posi-
tion. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe the 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.

7. Adjust the headlight using the
adjustment knobs until correct aim is
obtained. Shut the engine off; then
disengage the brake lever lock.
CAUTION
Do not touch the glass portion of the
bulb. If the glass portion is touched, it
must be cleaned with a dry cloth
before installing.
! 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.
