CHECKING THE BULBS AND BULB SOCKETS
WARNING
CAUTION:
NOTE:
Since the headlight bulb gets extremely hot,
keep flammable products and your hands
away from the bulb until it has cooled down.
Be sure to hold the socket firmly when re-
moving the bulb. Never pull the lead, other-
wise it may be pulled out of the terminal in
the coupler.
Avoid touching the glass part of the head-
light bulb to keep it free from oil, otherwise
the transparency of the glass, the life of the
bulb and the luminous flux will be adverse-
ly affected. If the headlight bulb gets
soiled, thoroughly clean it with a cloth
moistened with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
