8 Headlight beam alignment -
checking and adjustment
3
1 Accurate adjustment of the headlight beam
is only possible using optical beam
setting equipment and this work should
therefore be carried out by a Rover
dealer or service station with the necessary
facilities.
2 Temporary adjustment can be made
when the headlight unit has been
removed and refitted, or to compensate for
normal adjustment whenever a heavy
load is being carried. Turn the adjustment
screws at the rear of the headlight
unit to make the adjustment (see
illustration).
3 Before making any adjustments to the
headlight settings, it is important that the tyre
pressures are correct and that the vehicle is
standing on level ground. Bounce the front of
the vehicle a few times to settle the
suspension. Ideally somebody of normal size
should sit in the driver’s seat during the
adjustment and the vehicle should have a full
tank of fuel.
4 Whenever temporary adjustments are
made, the settings must be reset as
soon as possible once the vehicle is in normal
use.
