Closing the Bonnet

  1. Check under the bonnet area to make certain all filler caps are in place and all loose items (e.g. tools, oil containers, etc.) have been removed.

  2. Lift the bonnet, grasp the padded area on the support rod, and secure the support rod in the clip. Verify that the support rod is secured in the clip before closing the bonnet.

     

  3. Lower the bonnet slowly to a height of about 20 cm (7.9 in) above its closed position and then let it drop.

 

When closing the bonnet, do not push it excessively such as by applying your weight. Otherwise, the bonnet could be deformed.
