A QUICK ACCURATE CHECK OF AIM
You may wish to make a quick check to determine if the lamps need aiming. Headlamp trim need not be
removed to check aim.
To do so:
1. Attach aimers to headlamps observing the instructions as given on the previous pages.
2. Check FLOOR SLOPE DIAL for correct setting. See instructions on page 2.
3. HORIZONTAL AIM can be checked by turning the horizontal dial until the split image is in alignment. If the
horizontal dial scale reads more than the following values...HEADLAMPS SHOULD BE RE-AIMED.
RIGHT LEFT
Lamp identification type #1 - 5 3/4" and Rect. 4 4
Lamp identification type #2 - 5 3/4", 7" and Rect. 4 4
4. VERTICAL AIM can be checked by turning the vertical dial until the level vial is centered. If the vertical dial
scale reads more than the following values, HEADLAMPS SHOULD BE RE-AIMED. VERTICAL AIM can also be
checked quickly with Hoppy® Headlight Adjusters available from your local jobber.
RIGHT LEFT
Lamp identification type #1 and #2 - 5 3/4", 7" and Rect. 4 4
CHECKING AIMER CALIBRATION
Even though the new headlamp aiming units are calibrated prior to shipment from the factory, the calibration may
be affected in shipping. Please check calibration before using aimers.
It is good policy that the functions of the headlamp aimers be checked and the aimers be recalibrated at least
every 30 days or after aiming headlamps on 60 vehicles, whichever comes first. Check your state regulations for
maintenance and calibration requirements.
