Lights
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight lenses
become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and replace burned out lamps
promptly. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is
replaced. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
Headlight Replacement
If a headlight becomes damaged or inoperable, the entire headlight assembly must be
replaced. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is
replaced. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
Headlight Beam Adjustment
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 ft. (7.6 m) from
a wall.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a mark on
the wall at the same height.
4. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Turn on the headlights.
5. Observe the headlight aim. The most intense part of the headlight beam should be aimed
8" (20 cm) below the mark placed on the wall. Include the weight of a rider on the seat
while performing this step.
6. If a headlight needs adjustment, locate the adjustment screw on the side of the headlight.
7. Loosen the screw. Adjust the headlight, then tighten the screw.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 until the lamp is properly adjusted.
