Headlight Beam - APRILIA ETV MILLE CAPONORD ABS - 2003 Manual

HEADLIGHT BEAM

WARNING
Do not use the vehicle if the lights are
not functioning properly.
Do not use the vehicle if the headlight is
adjusted incorrectly. This could tempo-
rarily blind oncoming cars, and also re-
duce the rider's ability to see any obsta-
cle along the road while riding at night.
It is always advisable to reduce speed
when riding during the night, in such a
way as to have the time necessary to
avoid any obstacle and to adapt to the
poorer visibility that inevitably results
from darkness. Failure to observe this
warning can cause you to collide with
another object, with consequent risk of
serious injury or even death.
NOTE
The terms ≈right ∆and ≈left ∆ are
referred to the rider seated on the vehicle
in the normal riding position.
The headlight comprises two reflector
units:
√ right reflector unit (1);
√ left reflector unit (2).
The right reflector unit is equipped with:
√ a knob (3) to adjust the light beam verti-
cally;
√ a screw (4) to adjust the light beam hori-
zontally.
The left reflector unit is equipped with:
√ a knob (5) to adjust the light beam verti-
cally;
√ a screw (6) to adjust the light beam hori-
zontally.
WARNING
Perform the same light beam adjust-
ment (vertically and/or horizontally) on
both reflector units.
Upon each light beam adjustement en-
sure that:
– the light beam of the two units is uni-
form;
– there are no areas in shade.
