Headlight Bulb; Adjusting Headlight Aim - Arctic Cat 2015 ZR 5000 Service Manual

Headlight Bulb

 NOTE: The bulb portion of the headlight is fragile.
HANDLE WITH CARE. When replacing the headlight
bulb, the bulb assembly must first be removed from
the housing. Do not touch the glass portion of the
bulb. If the glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a
dry cloth before installing.
1. Disconnect the headlight harness connector from the
bulb; then remove the rubber grommet from the
headlight housing.
2. Rotate the bulb retainer counterclockwise until it
unlocks from the housing; then remove the bulb.
3. Install the bulb and retainer; then rotate the retainer
clockwise until it properly locks in place.
4. Install the rubber grommet; then connect the head-
light harness connector to the bulb.
5. Check headlight aim (see Adjusting Headlight Aim
in this sub-section).
! WARNING
Do not operate the snowmobile unless headlight beam
is adjusted properly. An incorrectly adjusted beam will
not provide the operator the optimum amount of light.

Adjusting Headlight Aim

The headlight can be adjusted for vertical aim of the
HIGH/LOW beam. The geometric center of HIGH beam
zone is to be used for vertical aiming.
1. Position the snowmobile on a level floor so the head-
light is approximately 25 ft from an aiming surface
(wall or similar surface).
 NOTE: There should be an "average" operating load
on the snowmobile when adjusting headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to midpoint of
the headlight.
3. Using the measurement obtained in step 2, make a
horizontal mark on the aiming surface.
4. Make a vertical mark intersecting the horizontal
mark on the aiming surface directly in front of the
headlight.
5. Engage the brake lever lock and start the engine.
Select the headlight dimmer switch HIGH beam
position. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe the headlight beam aim. Proper aim is when
the most intense beam is centered on the vertical
mark 5 cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark on the
aiming surface.
7. Adjust the headlight using the adjusting screw on the
0746-096
backside of the headlight housing until correct aim is
obtained. Shut the engine off; then disengage the
brake lever lock.
