ELECTRICAL SYSTEM— Lamps
To Check and Adjust Alignment
Park the car in front of a garage door or wall and square to it. The car must stand on
level ground and the front of the lamps should be approximately 25 ft. from the
"screen." The car must be unladen and the tyres at the correct pressures.
A point should be marked on the " screen " in line with the centre of the bonnet.
Two crosses should be drawn on the "screen" 31" above the ground level and 45"
apart, measured equally about the centre point (see Fig. 35). Switch on the head
lamps and adjust the lamps if necessary, until the centre of each circle of light
coincides with the centre of its respective cross.
IF ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
Withdraw the front rim after removing the securing screw. Remove the dust
excluding rubber. This will reveal three screws which can be adjusted to align the
reflector correctly. When the correct alignment has been obtained replace the rubber
and rim.
It is advisable to start adjustment with each screw screwed out half-way, this will
ensure correct fitting of the rim when assembled.
