B4A Instruction Manual

Before the headlamp aiming process begins, it is necessary to prepare the vehicle as follows:
1. Drive vehicle onto a flat surface. It isn't necessary that this surface be exactly level.
2. Remove large amounts of mud or ice from the underside of fenders.
3. Check whether tires are noticeably deflated and inflate if necessary.
4. See that there is no load in the vehicle other than the driver.
5. Rock the vehicle so as to equalize the springs. Check them for sag or broken leaves. Check functioning of
any "level-ride" mechanism.
6. Clean headlamp lenses and aiming pads. CAUTION: Some solvents and cleaners will attack and /or weaken
the components of the B4A Aimer. Thoroughly dry any object which has been cleaned with a solvent before
attaching an aimer to it.
7. Check for bulb burnout, broken aiming pads and proper beam switching.
Aimers will not work correctly unless floor slope is taken into account. FLOOR SLOPE CALIBRATION must be
done prior to aiming. However, if you regularly use one area to aim headlamps, rechecking the floor slope is
unnecessary. Permanently mark the area as shown in (Fig. 1), calibrate floor slope, and mark the setting for that
area.
Here's how to calibrate floor slope...
1. Attach OWNER'S CALIBRATION FIXTURES to aimers. The fixtures will easily snap into place on the aimers
when properly positioned.
