MANUAL HEADLAMP
AIMING PROCEDURE
1. Ensure your vehicle is loaded to your spe-
cic “travel and camping” conditions.
2. Remove all snow, ice, dirt and other debris
that may affect the ride height of the vehi-
cle.
3. Find a at area at least the length of your
motor home plus 7.62 meters (25 ft) with
a vertical at surface that is at least 3.0 m
(10 ft) by 3.0 (10 ft) at one end (a driveway
and garage door could be used).
4. Measure 7.62 m (25 ft) and position the
motor home so the headlamps are 7.62 m
(25 ft) from the vertical at surface and
secure by placing in park or Neutral and
setting the parking brakes.
5. Inspect your head lamp system and deter-
mine if it is a “Type 1” or “Type 2” sys-
tem. A Type 1 system has a separate HI
and LOW beam and uses for lamps. A
Type 2 system can be identied by locating
the number “2” embossed on the lens of
the lamp.
6. Measure the height from he ground to the
center of the low beam lament of the driv-
er’s side head lamp. Project this height in
an exact straight line to the vertical surface
7.62 m away from the motor home. Mark
the height of the lament and center line
on the vertical surface. This will have set
up a “coordinate system” for protecting the
headlamp’s beam on the vertical surface.
7. Repeat step 5 for the passenger’s side head
lamp.
8. Activate the head lamp system. Using
Figure 1 below the projected beam on the
vertical surface is to be located as follows.
CAUTION
The following procedure is not a substitute for having
the headlamps professionally aligned by a certied
head lamp alignment professional to the Society of
Automobile Engineering standards. Improper head
lamp alignment may result in poor visibility during
reduced light conditions and may result in an acci-
dent.
