Note
♦
If the vehicle is equipped with separate dipped and main
beam, adjust main beam additionally. When adjusting main
beam ensure that the adjustment unit is set to 0 %.
♦
For NAR vehicles the side adjustment of headlight is not per‐
mitted, therefore the adjustment bolt is secured against turn‐
ing. Adjustment is only allowed once when the headlight is to
be exchanged. When the side adjustment bolt has been ad‐
justed once, it must be secured with a cap ⇒ Electronic parts
catalogue ETKA . In this case, push securing cap into opening
of lateral adjustment until it is correctly seated.
Loading: With one person or 75 kg on the driver seat and the
vehicle otherwise unloaded (unladen weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of vehicle ready for operation
with a full fuel tank (at least 90 %) including weight of all equip‐
ment usually carried (e.g. spare wheel, tools, jack, fire extinguish‐
er etc.).
If the fuel tank is not at least 90 % full, then load as follows:
– Read level of fuel in fuel tank on fuel gauge. Determine addi‐
tional weight from following table and place weight in luggage
compartment.

Example:
When the fuel tank is half full an additional weight of 40 kg must
be placed in the luggage compartment.
Note
♦
Use a container filled with water or gravel, for example (a 5
litre fuel canister filled with water weighs approx. 5 kg) to pro‐
vide additional weight.
♦
Write the weight in kg on the container and secure it against
being opened again in order to prevent misuse.
♦
In order to avoid dirt, place a mat/board of some kind in the
luggage compartment.
Notes for vehicles with halogen headlights:
Manual headlight range control (if fitted):
♦ The headlight range adjuster thumb wheel must be in basic
setting -0-.
