CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE HEADLlGHTS
The condition of the glass, reflector and bulb of the
headlight should be checked.
If
the glass
,is
damaged
by flying g'ravel, cracked or
in
any other way defec-
tive, the
insert
should be replaced. Glass whioh has
become I/san d-blasted"
by
flying stones, etc.,
will
considerably reduce the
lighting
effect and can give
rise
to
dazzling,
irregular beams,
etc.
If the refleator is dull, buckled
or
damaged in any
other way, the insert should be 'replaced. The inside
of the bulb must not be oxidized to a black or brown
colour. The lighting effect normally deteriorates to
such an extent that the bulbs should be replaced after
100-200 hou'rs of operation.
The voltage
al
t the bulb with the headlights switched
on and the
,
e ngine running at chO'rging speed should
be at least 12.5 volts if sufficient lighting strength is
to be produced.
