place the vehicle on flat ground, 10 m away from a
wall.Turn on the low beam, sit on the vehicle and ver-
ify that the headlight beam projected on the wall is
slightly under the horizontal line of the headlight
(about 9/10th of the total length - Fig. 72).

Act on the apposite screw (Fig. 73)with a screw
◆
driver.
By SCREWING (clockwise), the beam sets up-

BULBS

switch to the " " position.
Change bulbs wearing clean gloves or us-
ing a clean and dry cloth.

could cause their overheating and consequent
breakage. If you touch the bulb with bare hands,
remove any fingerprint with alcohol, in order to
prevent it from frequently cutting out.
