What Are the Installation Precautions for Tractor Headlights?

When driving at night must be turned on, the tractor turns on the headlights, the high-light intensity of the headlights and the position of the low beams can play a vital role in driving at night. When the irradiation direction is abnormal and the distance between the beam and the ground is not suitable, the upper and lower adjustment screws of the headlight should be adjusted to achieve the ideal lighting state. However, in practice, the problem of headlights is often overlooked by drivers. The following is a list of some improper operation phenomena in the installation and use of headlamps.

 

There are several installation precautions.

 

Avoid solo lighting

When a light bulb is damaged, it should be replaced immediately. If it is still used with the help of another light bulb, the front illumination of the tractor will be greatly reduced at night, and the light will lean to one side. Drivers driving on rainy nights and country roads can easily cause rollover accidents due to their unclear vision and narrow and uneven roads. In addition, non-motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians cannot determine whether the light beam is coming from the left or right side of the tractor, and they do not know which direction to avoid.

Avoid too high installation position

When the filament burns out and the entire assembly needs to be replaced, it should be replaced immediately. In order to save money, some drivers weld a higher bracket above the nose and use removable or semi-removable headlamps. This makes the position of the headlamps significantly higher, and many lamps are almost at the same height as the driver's eyes. When the headlights are turned on at night, there is always a dark shadow in the driver's line of sight (that is, the rear of the lamp housing). The beating in front of the eyes will seriously hinder the driver's observation of the road ahead, and it will also easily cause eyestrain.

Avoid installing the lamp too low

Many small four-wheeled and walk-behind tractors have converted the headlights on the frame. Because the power of the light bulb on the tractor is small and the range is short, the beam cannot reach the traffic signs in the distance ahead of the road. When the tractor is approaching, because the position of the lamps is too low, the main light still cannot reach the roadside traffic signs, and the driver cannot identify the road signs. Traffic accidents are prone to occur when dangerous sections such as sharp turns and steep slopes are encountered. In addition, because the position of the lamp is too low, small undulations on the road will also cast a long shadow, which affects the driver's ability to judge the road.

Avoid improper adjustment of headlight axis direction

When the driver installs the lamp bracket, if the bracket is not corrected or adjusted improperly, the headlight axis cannot be kept substantially parallel to the road surface, which affects the driver's observation of the road. When using a low beam, the beam of the low beam does not tend to the lower right side of the front of the car as required, but is directed to the front, causing the oncoming driver to be dazzled.

 

In addition, during the use and maintenance of the tractor, in order to ensure that the shape of the headlights meets the driving needs, sufficient power sources, intact lamps and correct installation are required, otherwise the driver's accurate observation and judgment of road signs and road surfaces will be directly affected. In addition, in order to make the beam of the headlamp achieve a satisfactory effect, in addition to ensuring the correct installation of the lamp, attention should also be paid to the overall condition of the locomotive to minimize trembling of the locomotive.
