3.3 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, HEADLIGHTS

Note:
Use adjustment equipment to check and adjust 
the headlights.

Adjusting the headlights
1.

Prior to adjusting the headlights, check that:
-

the vehicle is unladen and the tyres are 
inflated to the specified pressure.

-

the vehicle is standing on a flat and level 
surface.

-

the height adjustment of the headlights 
inside the cab is in "0" position.

2.

The headlight is adjustable by means of four 
knurled knobs at the back of the headlight 
housing; main beam and dipped beam are 
separately adjustable:
-

To adjust the dipped beam horizontally 
turn knob 1.

-

To adjust the dipped beam vertically 
turn knob 2.

-

To adjust the main beam vertically turn 
knob 3.

-

To adjust the main beam horizontally 
turn knob 4.

The specified height adjustment is also 
shown on a sticker on the inside of the corner 
section around the headlight.

3.

As clear headlight glass is used the image of 
the asymmetrical light beam deviates 
somewhat from the usual image. The beam 
of light is not a straight line that slants 
upwards, but is slightly convex.

4.

Adjust the headlight so that the intersection 
of the convex and horizontal light beam 
coincides with the intersection of the 
asymmetric diagonal and horizontal 
adjustment line. It does not make any 
difference if the convex beam is above the 
asymmetric diagonal.

4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

4.1 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, WINDSCREEN WIPER SYSTEM

When replacing the wiper linkage, the following 
points must be observed.

If the balls of the wiper linkage are worn, replace 
them as well as the wipers.

Use the proper tools when removing the old 
wipers to avoid damaging the seals.

When installing new wipers, use the specified 
grease. See "Technical data".

When fitting new wipers, never hit the sealing 
covers on the wipers with a hammer or other hard 
object. The covers are only 1 mm thick and might 
be damaged.

If the motor spindle shows axial play, replace the 
motor. This play will cause excessive wear to the 
wiper linkage.
