At the same time be sure to clean and lubricate the helical splines of the starter shaft, the
bushings of both end shields and the drive pinion with engine oil, and the pinion shift ring of
the starter drive, with grease.
Voltage Regulator
Any servicing of the voltage regulator must be performed by qualified specialists only.
When installing the voltage regulator on the car or removing it from the car, see to it that the
regulator is not subject to blows which may bring it out of adjustment.
Aiming the Headlight Lower Beam
Every 20.000 Km (end also after the first 2,000-3,000 Km if the car is new) aim the
headlights. The car is equipped with head lights that have an asymmetric light distribution of
the lower beam, with a sharp boundary between the light and dark zones; such light
distribution makes it possible, with the headlight aimed properly, to reduce the dazzling effect
on the drivers of the oncoming vehicles.
To aim the headlight lower beam proceed as follows:
1. Place the car in running order with a load of 750
n (75 kg) on the driver’s seat and with normally
inflated tyres on a level ground (Fig. 67) at a
distance of 5 m from a vertical white screen
located in a shade. A white wall of a building
may serve as a screen.
2. Rock the car sideways to stabilise the car
suspensions.
3. Draw on the screen axial line O located in the car
symmetry plane. Symmetrically to the axial line, draw lines A and B (a distance of 1160
mm between them should correspond to the distance between the headlight centres). Then
draw horizontal line 1 at height h (which is a distance from the headlight centre to the
ground), and line 2 which should be 120 mm below line 1.
1. Switch on the lower beam and rotating screws 1 and 2 (Fig. 68),
set the light units so that the horizontal border-line between the
light and dark zones passes along line 2 (Fig. 67), and the
inclined limiting lines come from the points of intersection of
lines A and B with line 2.
Replacing the Bulbs
To replace a bulb in the headlight, turn out screws 5 (Fig. 68)
which secure decorative grille 4 of the radiator and remove the grille;
loosen screws 3 securing the light unit rim, turn the rim counter-
clockwise and remove it. Take out light unit 7 and throw off the
bulb spring clamps.
To replace the bulb in the side light or in the rear fog lamp turn out the lens fastening screws,
remove the lens, gently press on the bulb, turn it counter-clockwise, and take it out.
