3. Locate a true vertical plate glass window or smooth surface
and secure aimers three to five feet apart so split image
targets can be located in viewing ports.
4. Set floor level dial at zero.
5. Rotate thumb adjusting screws on each calibration fixture
until level vials on fixtures are centered.
6. With both calibration level vials centered turn vertical dial
knobs on each aimer until aimer level vials are centered. If
aimer vertical dial pointers read between l/2 up and l/2
down, aimers are within allowable vertical tolerance.
Recalibrate units if beyond these limits.
Vertical dial pointer reading (on each aimer):
l/2 up to l/2 down
7. Adjust horizontal dial knob on each aimer until split image
targets align. If aimer horizontal dial pointers read between
1 left and 1 right, the aimers are within allowable tolerance
limits. Recalibrate units if beyond these limits.
Horizontal dial pointer reading (on each aimer):
1 left to 1 right
MOUNTING AIMERS
1. If necessary to expose adjusting screws, remove headlight
trim rings.
2. Snap proper adaptor into position on each aimer making full
contact with aimer mounting flange.
3. Position aimers on headlights by pushing piston handle
forward, engaging rubber suction cup. Immediately pull
back piston handle until it locks in place.
NOTE
Steel inserts are molded into position on the adaptor to insure
accuracy. These inserts must be in contact with the three guide
points on the lights when the aimers are properly positioned.
HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT
I. Set horizontal dial to zero.
2. Check to see that the split image target lines are visible in
the viewing port. If necessary, rotate each aimer slightly to
locate the target.
3. Turn horizontal screw on side of headlight until split image
of target line appears in mirrors as one solid line. To remove
"backlash", make final adjustment by turning adjusting
screw in a clockwise direction.
4. Repeat the last three steps on opposite headlight.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
1. The vertical dial should be set at zero. (For passenger
vehicles an "0" setting is generally required. For special
settings, consult local state laws.)
2. Turn vertical adjusting screw until the level bubble is
centered between the lines.
3. Repeat the last two steps on the opposite headlight.
4. Re-check target alignment on both aimers and readjust
horizontal aim if necessary.
5. Remove aimers by pressing "vacuum release" button
located on piston handle.
