button at the front light (fig. 30).

headlight is correctly adjusted. At a distance of 5 meters, the brightest
area of the light cone should be half as high as the mounting height of the
headlight on the bike.
1. Place the bike so that it is straight and facing towards wall at a distance
of 5 meters.
2. Mark the target value for the brightest area (half the mounting height
of the headlight) on the wall.
3. Switch on the lighting

4. At a distance of 5 m, the light cone may only be half as high in front of
the headlight as when it emerges (fig. 31).
