MINOR REPAIRS
Headlamp Adjustment
To avoid dazzling oncoming drivers the headlamps should have a
range of between 30 to 50 metres (33 to 55 yards).
Adjustment from inside the car (Fig. 39):
To lower the beams: turn the knob (1) anti-clockwise.
To raise the beams: turn clockwise.
Adjustment from outside the car:
The range and direction of each headlamp can be modified by
operating the hexaganol nut which secures the headlamp to its ball
joint support.
As these adjustments from outside the car can only be carried out
in a workshop containing the necessary checking equipment, have
them done, or checked, by a specialist in these matters.
