3.3 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, HEADLIGHTS

Note:
Use adjustment equipment to check and adjust
the headlights.

Adjusting the headlights
1.

Prior to adjusting the headlights, check that:
-

the vehicle is unladen and the tyres are
inflated to the specified pressure.

-

the vehicle is standing on a flat and level
surface.

-

the height adjustment of the headlights
inside the cab is in "0" position.

2.

The headlight is adjustable by means of four
knurled knobs at the back of the headlight
housing; main beam and dipped beam are
separately adjustable:
-

To adjust the dipped beam horizontally
turn knob 1.

-

To adjust the dipped beam vertically
turn knob 2.

-

To adjust the main beam vertically turn
knob 3.

-

To adjust the main beam horizontally
turn knob 4.

The specified height adjustment is also
shown on a sticker on the inside of the corner
section around the headlight.

3.

As clear headlight glass is used the image of
the asymmetrical light beam deviates
somewhat from the usual image. The beam
of light is not a straight line that slants
upwards, but is slightly convex.

4.

Adjust the headlight so that the intersection
of the convex and horizontal light beam
coincides with the intersection of the
asymmetric diagonal and horizontal
adjustment line. It does not make any
difference if the convex beam is above the
asymmetric diagonal.

4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

4.1 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, WINDSCREEN WIPER SYSTEM

When replacing the wiper linkage, the following
points must be observed.

If the balls of the wiper linkage are worn, replace
them as well as the wipers.

Use the proper tools when removing the old
wipers to avoid damaging the seals.

When installing new wipers, use the specified
grease. See "Technical data".

When fitting new wipers, never hit the sealing
covers on the wipers with a hammer or other hard
object. The covers are only 1 mm thick and might
be damaged.

If the motor spindle shows axial play, replace the
motor. This play will cause excessive wear to the
wiper linkage.
