Place a thick nylon bushing on the screw and insert 
screw through the holes provided at the top of the 
mast, place a thick nylon bushing on screw and self-
locking nut.   

Tighten to a tension that allows for movement of 
sighting unit, but provides sufficient friction to hold 
unit in place when unattended.  

NOTE:  Sighting unit must be calibrated to the optical head prior 

to alignment of headlamps.

SIGHTING UNIT CALIBRATION 

Calibration of sighting unit must be performed prior to alignment of 
headlamps. 

Raise optical head of 

BCA 4 

ISO

Color

 to the approximate center 

of mast. 

Turn the sighting unit until you can see the front edge of the optical 
head while looking through the sighting unit lens.  Line on lens 
should line up with the front edge of the optical head. 

If line does not line up with the front edge of optical head, loosen 
the thumbscrews on the lens and move the lens into alignment.  
Tighten thumbscrews. 

It is important that periodical checking of calibration of the sighting 
unit be performed, to assure customer satisfaction. 

2.6    FLOOR SLOPE LASER 

The floor slope laser assembly is factory calibrated,

 DO 

NOT

 turn the level adjustment set screw.   

The laser is used for floor slope measurement only.  Remove 
laser after floor slope measurements have been recorded. 

Remove floor slope laser from packaging and insert front 
fixture placement pin into hole on top and at front of the 
rear area of the optical head, also there is an indentation 
provided for the height adjustment screw to rest within. 

Activate the laser by turning ON/OFF knob clockwise 
(CAUTION: Excessive turning may damage laser 
ON/OFF mechanism) to assure of functionality, turn off 
laser.  No further adjustment is required. 

NOTE:  Should calibration of the laser become necessary in 

the future, Refer to “LASER CALIBRATION”. 
Calibration, Section 5.1, Pg. 9. 

Laser Battery Replacement

 

Unscrew back of laser and replace batteries with three (3), 

LR 44

 

button batteries or equivalent.  Reverse process for assembly. 

After battery replacement, CALIBRATION COULD BE REQUIRED.
