Headlamp Adjustment
Correct headlamp adjustment is
extremely important. Check and read­
just headlamps at regular intervals
and when a lamp has been replaced.
Replacing Bulbs
To remove, push the bulb in and turn
to the left, then lift the bulb out.
To install, grip the bulb with a paper
tissue or similar cloth, align the pins
on the base of the bulb with the
grooves in the bulb socket, push in
lightly and turn to the right until the
stop is felt.
Install only 12 volt bulbs with the
specified watt rating.
