3.7.1 LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM & FOG/DRIVING PROCEDURE
The operating flowchart is a step by step procedure to follow when aligning the low beam and high beam lamps
1.
Turn laser on. If using adjustment handle scale recording from previous alignment, skip steps 2 & 3.
2. Measure height of laser beam at both front and rear wheels using a tape measure.
3. Adjust rear eccentric wheel so that the height of the laser is equal at both front and rear wheels of vehicle.
5. Place the HBA 5 at center of vehicle. Rotate alignment head perpendicular to vehicle using mounted mirror and two common points on vehicle.
6. PRESS the ON/SELECT Button. Confirm the LED next to “Position Check” on control panel is lit.
5. Noting the indicator arrows, position the alignment head in front of vehicle headlamp until only center GREEN LED lights up indicating that the
alignment head is perfectly aligned to the headlamp.
8. Audit headlamp by pressing the “ON/SELECT” button until the correct beam type is chosen, and its LED lights up.
9. GREEN light lit denotes that the lamp position is within allowable limits of +/- 4 inches up/down and left/right. RED lights lit denote that the lamp
is outside allowable limits of +/- 4 inches up/down and/or left/right.
9. If GREEN, proceed to step 11
10. If RED, adjust headlamp to GREEN light condition following directions indicated by arrows on control panel.
11. To accept “Headlamp within allowable limits”, proceed to step 14
12. To adjust to “Fine Adjust”, begin headlamp adjustment procedure by pressing the “ADJUST SELECTION” button. Confirm that the LED across
from “FINE ADJUSTMENT” is lit to indicate that it is in FINE ADJUST mode
13. Noting the indicator arrows, adjust headlamp until only center GREEN LED lights up indicating that the headlamp is in perfect alignment.
14. Move to next headlamp position and repeat steps 6 - 13.
15. Press “ON/SELECT” button and confirm that the “Position Check” LED is lit.
16. Repeat 6-14 to adjust HIGH BEAM headlamps
17. Headlamp aiming completed!
NOTE: In the event that the lamps low beam will not conform to the standards set forth, which can be viewed by the lamps
extreme HIGH/LOW and/or LEFT/RIGHT final position, as depicted below, the following procedure should be followed.
•
Switch lamp to HIGH BEAM mode and align lamp according to alignment
procedures specified for the HBA 5 system.
•
Switch lamp to LOW BEAM mode and visually observe placement of low
beam on rear alignment screen of HBA 5. Pattern should be in a relative
position of alignment and appear as pictorial.
3.7.2 LOW BEAM, VOL & VOR LAMP ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
The following steps are to be used when aligning the Low beam VOL & VOR lamps.
1. Follow steps 1 - 4 of low beam, high beam, fog / driving lamp operation to align, and level the alignment head
2. Use position check to square the alignment head with the lamp.
3. Observe the lamp pattern shown on the aiming screen inside the HBA 5 by peering through the tinted view window on top of the alignment head.
4. Adjust the lamp until the pattern matches that shown in the select window on the control panel for VOL or VOR beams.
5. Move to next lamp and repeat steps 2 - 5. Headlamp aiming completed!
