MAINTENANCE

Headlight Lamp Replacement

WARNING: Due to the nature of ATVs and where they are ridden, headlight
and taillight lenses become dirty. Frequent washing is necessary to maintain light-
ing quality. Poor lighting while riding can result in severe injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not service while headlight is hot. Serious burns may result.
NOTE: Do not touch a halogen lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves
a residue, causing a hot spot which will shorten the life of the lamp.
Headlight Lamp Installation - Scrambler
1. Remove wire harness connector from the back of headlight.
2. Grasp bulb housing, turn counterclockwise and remove bulb.
3. Install bulb into headlight housing and rotate clockwise firmly. NOTE: bulb is
to be positioned so the harness installs into the lamp at the bottom.
