1 - Horizontal Adjustment Screw

2 - Vertical Adjustment Screw


The headlights must be adjusted to correct height so that the operator can safely operate the machine at night or in poor light conditions.

When properly adjusted, headlight beams are parallel, angled neither right nor left, and low beams are angled downward at a 1% grade.

  1. Verify that the tires are at the correct pressure.

  2. Drive machine onto a level surface, directly facing a vertical wall with frames steered straight. Stop machine with headlights 5.0 m (16.4 ft) from wall.

  3. Measure width between centers of headlights. Mark grille with tape at center point.

  4. Measure height from ground to center point between headlights.

  5. Use string line and tape to mark wall at center point between headlights.

  6. Measure left and right on wall and mark wall at centers of headlights.

  7. Activate low-beam headlights. Turn vertical adjustment screw (2) to aim each headlight so the center of each beam is 5 cm (2 in.) lower than the tape mark.

  8. Activate high-beam headlights. Adjust horizontal adjustment screw (1) to aim each headlight directly toward tape mark.
