LIGHTING SYSTEM
HEADLAMPS
Description
Models A V - I , AV-2, AR-I and AR-2
The single beam system consists of two sealed beam
headlamps.
The lamps are the two filament type for low and
high beam and are marked by a number 2 molded in
the lamp lens.
The low beam provides the "body" light which
il-
luminates the side of the road, ditches, etc.
The high beam provides the high intensity "reach"
down the highway.
Models AP-I und AP-2
The dual headlamp system on AP-1 and AP-2
models consists of four sealed beam headlamps.
The two upper lamps are of the two filament type
for low and high beam and are marked by a numeral
2 molded in the lamp lens.
The lamps cannot be installed wrong as the mount-
ing lugs for the number one (1) and number two (2)
lamps are offset at different angles.
The number 1 lamp provides the high intensity
"reach" down the highway and the off focus filament
in the number 2 lamp provides the "body" light which
illuminates the side of the road, ditches, etc.
