>Park on a flat, level surface with a wall 25 ft away from the front of your

>Tape a line 5 ft up the wall, parallel to the ground, & sight along the DAK
>centerline to verify the location of the tape.
>Rock the DAK side-to-side three times & jounce the front suspension three
>times (push down on the bumper & release), to get the suspension to
>stabilize.
>Measure the distance from the center of the headlight lenses to the
>ground/floor.
>Transfer this measurement to the wall & mark it with a horizontal tape
>line,
>for up down adjustment.
>Measure from the DAK centerline to each headlight centerline.
>Transfer these lines to the wall with a vertical tape line to each side of
>the DAK centerline, for left/right adjustment.
>Turn on the lowbeams.
>Clean the lenses.
>Check for proper tire inflation.
>TOP edge of the beam should be 2 inches above or below the headlight
>centerline tape.
>LEFT Side edge of the beam should be two inches right or left of the
>vertical tape lines.
>IDEAL ADJUSTMENT:
>TOP edge of beam: 1 inch down from the line.
>LEFT Side of beam: dead nuts on for side to side.

>Right out of the Bible!
