- flat horizontal platform (preferably near the wall of the house, fence or gate);
- tape measure 5 m long;
- cardboard sheet (to cover the headlight when adjusting).
Recommendations: It is advisable to carry out the adjustment in the dark. The vehicle must be in running order (fully loaded and without additional cargo). Since it is not easy to find a suitable surface as a screen, it is easier to use a 1x2 m plywood shield with markings applied to it. In this case, it is necessary to prepare an emphasis or stand in order to install the shield vertically.
Execution sequence
1. We install the car on a flat horizontal platform perpendicular to the surface selected as a screen, and at a distance of 5 m from it. You can install a sheet of plywood in front of the car under the same conditions.
2. We mark the screen according to the figure.
Screen layout for headlight adjustment: A - a vertical line indicating the location of the dipped / main beam lamp of the left block headlight; B - a vertical line indicating the location of the dipped / main beam lamp of the right headlight; C - a horizontal line indicating the location of the dipped / main beam headlights; D - line indicating the height of the horizontal border of the beams of light; O - center line; / \u003d 964 mm - the distance between the dipped / main beam lamps of the block headlights; h - distance from the surface of the site on which the car is installed to the dipped / main beam headlights
Note: Necessary measurements can be made using a tape measure.
3. Check the tire pressure, if necessary, bring it to normal.
4. Turn the headlight hydrocorrector drive knob to the position corresponding to the minimum vehicle load.
5. We seat the assistant in the driver's seat. Then we vigorously shake the car from the side to self-adjust the suspension.
6. Turning on the dipped headlights, close one of the block headlights, for example, the right one, with a sheet of cardboard.
7. Turning the knob of the adjusting screw (1) of the left block headlight, we bring the horizontal border of the light beam to line C, and then, turning the adjusting screw (2), combine the break of the border of the light beam with line A.
Adjust the right headlight in the same way.
