AT TENT ION
In case of acid slashes on body, abundantly wash with water al l affected parts.
If eyes have been touched, urgently call for a doctor.
1. DANGER = EXPLOSION RISK
During battery charging, connected to a charger-rectifier, oxygen and hydrogen emissions are
occurring. These gases emission is stronger when the battery has reached the complete charge
condition and the produced gas quantity is in direct connection with the charging current. The oxygen and hydrogen are associating in the free spaces, at the plates surface, forming a
detonate mixture, which is very explosive. The littlest spark is sufficient to generate an explosion,
followed by the battery case brooking and a cid splashing in the proximate environment. The
persons, who are a round, are in da nger t o be hurt by t he e xploded case chips or by the acid,
which may come i n contact with the eyes, hands, or face.
AT TENT ION
Strictly observe the following recommendations:
- before connecting or reconnecting a battery, ensure that all consumers are
shouted off; -during battery charging in a room, using a c harger-rectifier, turn it off be fore
connecting or reconnecting the battery to this one;
-do not place m etallic objects on the battery for not producing a short-circuit
between its plugs;
-never bring closer to a battery, an open flame, a welding lamp or another fire
source.
THE ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
In case of an intervention on the vehicle, some measures must be taken, for the electric equip-
ment protection against damages or for avoiding a short-circuit that may lead to vehicle firing. The
battery is to be allwith disconnected by first disconnecting the negative plug and then the positive
one. Connection is to be done by performing the disconnecting operations in the reverse order.
Before starter acting, check if the battery is correctly connected (the negative plug connected
to the ground), and if the plugs are clean and well tightened. Never disconnect the battery when
the engine is running, in order not to damage the voltage regulator, the alternator or some
components of the vehicle checking electronic systems. The alternator, voltage re gulator
disconnecting, a nd the interventions at their connections, are to be performed only when the
engine is stopped (the alternator is not turning) and the contact is taken off. In case the battery is connected to a charger-rectifier, for charging (without dismounting the
battery off the vehicle), it is obligatory to disconnect the wiring from the battery plugs. BATTERY

DISMOUNTING
Disconnect the connector (1).
Disconnect the supply wires of the parking bulb and remove the parking bulb.
Remove the rubber protector (2).
Release t he attachment clamps (3) and remove the low-main beam bulb.
REMOUNTING

directly by hand.
FRONT TURNING BULB REPLACEMENT
DISMOUNTING
Disconnect the bulb supply wires

Remove the burnt bulb from the holder.
REMOUNTING
Pe rform the dismounting operations in the reverse orde r, with the checking of the correct
holder (4) positioning to avoid dust and humidity penetration in the headlamp assembly .

HEADLAMPS ADJUSTMENT
MEETING LIGHTS ADJUSTMENT (LOW BEAM) This is performed by acting upon the V screw
(vertically p lane adjustment) or H (horizontally
p lane adjustment). By screwin g, t he lighting beam
is ”lowering” and by unscrewing is “ascending”.
Check if the lighted area i s centered on the
vertical axis and if the optical separation at 15°
coincide with the headlamp lighting. An error
of 1 cm is admissible.
A lighting beam displaced towards left has
the aspect shown in ( pict.a) and a lighting beam
displaced towards right has the aspect shown
in (pict.b).
RO AD LIGHTS ADJUSTMENT (LONG BEAM)
Check the position to coincide with the
adjustment performed for low beam a nd with
the lighting beam distributed between the two
vertical lines on the panel. When checking the long beam, the lighting
center of the ellipse, must be located on the
cross marking the screen center.
If a m ajor de viation c ompared with t he low be am i s noticed, i t is re commended t he bul b
replacement, this one being in most of the cases, responsible for such defect.

HEADLAMPS ADJUSTMENT
FOG LAMPS ADJUSTMENT
The fog lamps adjustment is to be performed in the following conditions:
- the vehicle to be placed on a horizontal surface;
- the vehicle has not passengers inside the cockpit or weights in the trunk;
- the tires a re pressurized a t the manufacturer prescribed pressure.
Further on, proceed as follows:
Bring the vehicle at the working place.
Position the adjustment device (headlamp adjustment device – E) in front of an optical center
of a fog lamp.
Switch on the fog lamps.
Rotate the adjustment screw of the fog lamp (D), so that an adjustment of 2 % is obtained and
the separation between the lighted area and the dark one from the adjustment device is located
under the marked line (G).
This adjustment is performed in the same way as for the meeting lights adjustment.
Bring the adjustment device in front of the optical center of the second fog lamp.
Perform the fog lamp adjustment.
Switch off the fog lamps.
