OPERATION

Any variation in volume in the distribution cylinder caused by the position of the control knob causes the actuator pistons to shift. The actuators are connected to the headlight dish and higher or lower the headlight beam.

Note: This device is supplied as a complete spare part. Actuator pin calibration is performed at the production plant. Check this measurement if during adjustment headlight beams do not fall within prescribed calibration values.

Electric headlight beam slant adjustment device

DESCRIPTION

This device is similar to its hydraulic counterpart but presents higher accuracy and the advantage of not having hydraulic connections.

Headlight beam slant is adjusted by means of an electric motor anchored to the headlight dish and controlled by means of a potentiometer positioned on the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel. The device can be calibrated by means of the screw fitted to the actuator.
