Headlamp: Description and Operation

Battery voltage is applied to the Head/Park Light Switch at all times. The Head/Park Light Switch includes a self-resetting Circuit Breaker. The Circuit Breaker opens when the Headlight circuit draws too much current. When the Circuit Breaker opens, it interrupts the current flow. With no current flow, the Circuit Breaker cools off and resets automatically. When the Head/Park Light Switch is in HEAD, the Headlight Dimmer Switch directs the voltage to either the Lo Beams or Hi Beams. The Hi Beam Indicator also receives voltage along with the Hi Beams.
