N.30 HEADLAMP BEAM SETTING
Refer to Section N.17 for details of the headlamp adjustment screws.
In the absence of specialized proprietary equipment, the setting of the lamps can be carried out by
placing the vehicle squarely in front of a blank wall at a distance of 25 ft. (76 m.) or more, taking care
that the surface on which the car is standing is level and not sloping in relation to the wall. The vehicle
should be loaded. It will be found an advantage to cover one lamp while setting the other.

N.31 DRY-CHARGED BATTERIES
"Dry-charged' batteries are supplied without electrolyte but with the plates in a charged condition. This
ensures that there is no deterioration of the battery if it is stored for a period before use. These
batteries have the type suffix letter "Z" (e.g. SGZ, etc.).
