MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Lights When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp. WARNING Poor lighting while driving can result in severe injury or death. Headlight and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Wash the headlights frequently to maintain lighting quality. Hot components can cause serious burns to skin. Do not service the headlamps until they've cooled sufficiently. Headlight Lamp Replacement - Scrambler 1. Remove the wire harness connector from the back of the headlight. 2. Grasp the bulb housing and turn it counterclockwise to remove the bulb. 3. Apply dielectric grease to the light bulb socket before installing the new bulb. Install the replacement bulb into headlight housing and rotate clockwise firmly. NOTE: The bulb must be positioned so the harness installs into the lamp at the bottom. 4. Reinstall the connector to the back of the headlight.. High Beam Adjustment - Scrambler The headlight beam can be adjusted vertically. 1. Position the ATV on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a flat wall. 2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a mark on the wall at the same height. 3. Start the engine and turn the headlight switch to high beam. 4. Observe the headlight aim on the wall. The most intense part of the headlight beam should be aimed 2" (5.1 cm) below the mark placed on the wall. NOTE: Include rider weight on the seat when measuring. 5. Loosen the pivot bolt and adjust the beam to the desired position. 6. Tighten the bolt and torque to 60 in. lbs. 120
