Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order, taking into account the following:
Before lock installation (1) and hood opening handles (2) Apply grease to their moving parts.
If a new hood is being installed, replace all removable parts on it.
Close the hood and check its position relative to adjacent surfaces. Adjust the position of the hood so that when the hood is closed, the gap around the perimeter of the hood is the same on all sides. To adjust, loosen the hood hinge bolts and, moving the hood (A), adjust its position. To adjust the front of the hood in height (IN) it is necessary to screw in or unscrew the rubber cushions (1).
Adjust the position of the cable so that when the hood release lever is released, the cable has a slight slack. Check that the hood latch opens when an assistant pulls the hood release lever. If necessary, adjust by loosening the bolts securing the lock and moving it, then tighten the bolts to a torque of 9 Nm.
