The batteries must be kept dry and clean; cable and battery terminals should be
smeared with petroleum jelly.
Do not leave the battery in a discharged state for any length of time. When not in
regular use have the battery fully charged, and every four weeks give a short
refresher trickle charge to prevent permanent damage to the battery plates.
Removing.
Ease the bottom of the outer rim
(1)
forwards away from the lamp.
Unscrew the three inner rim retaining screws
(2),
remove the inner rim
(3),
withdraw the light unit
(4).
and disconnect the three-pin plug
(5).
Refitting.
Connect the three-pin plug and position the light unit in the headlamp
body ensuring that the three lugs formed on the outer edge of the light unit engage
in the slots formed in the body, and fit the inner retaining rim. Position the outer
rim on the retaining lugs with the cut-away portion of the rim at the bottom of
the lamp, press the rim downwards and inwards.
Two adjusting screws are provided on each headlamp for setting the main beams.
The screw
(6)
is for adjusting the beam in the vertical plane, and the screw
(7)
is
for horizontal adjustment. The beams must be set in accordance with local
regulations; resetting and checking should be entrusted to your Distributor or
Dealer, who will have special equipment available for this purpose.
