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 20cm (7.9 in) above its closed

position and then let it drop.

CAUTION

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