CHECKING / ADJUSTING HEADLIGHT AIM
Your ATV's headlights can be adjusted vertically and horizon-
tally. The projected center of the HIGH beam should to be used
for vertical and horizontal aiming.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To replace the headlight bulb, use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the wiring connector from the back of the headlight
2. Grasp the bulb housing, turn it counterclockwise, and re-
move the bulb
3. Install the new bulb into the housing and rotate it com-
pletely clockwise
4. Reinstall the wiring harness connector
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of each headlight
3. Using the measurements obtained in step 2, make horizon-
tal marks on the aiming surface
4. Make vertical marks which intersect the horizontal marks on
the aiming surface directly in front of the headlights
5. Switch on the ATV's lights. Make sure the HIGH beam is on.
DO NOT USE LOW BEAM
6. Observe each headlight beam aim. Proper aim is achieved
when the most intense beam is centered on the vertical mark
2 in. (5 cm) below the horizontal mark on the aiming surface
7. Adjust each headlight until you achieve the correct aim by
turning the necessary adjuster clockwise or counterclock-
wise (see image on following page)
To replace your ATV's taillight/brakelight bulb, use the following

housing
2. To remove the bulb from the socket, push in and rotate coun-
terclockwise
3. To install the new bulb, push in and turn clockwise
4. Insert the socket into the housing and rotate it clockwise
1. Position your ATV on a level floor so the headlights are ap-
proximately 20 ft (6.1 m) from an aiming surface (a wall or
similar surface)
NOTE: There should be an average operating load on
your ATV when adjusting the headlight aim.
NOTE: The bulb portion of the headlight is fragile.
HANDLE WITH CARE. When replacing the headlight
bulb, do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If the
glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a dry cloth
before installing. Oil residue from your skin on the bulb
will cause the bulb to fail.
