4. Using the Bulldog as a handle, pull on the hood to raise it over the engine. You may
put one foot on the bumper if necessary.
5. Pull steadily on the hood until it comes over the center and stops fully open.
WARNING
NEVER take both feet off the ground to
tilt the hood. Keep at least one foot on
the ground to avoid a slip or fall. If it is
difficult for you to raise the hood, get the
help of someone who can lift from the rear
of the hood.
WARNING
Little effort is required to open or close
the hood. NEVER take both feet off the
ground to tilt the hood. Keep at least one
foot on the ground to avoid a slip or fall.
Closing the Hood
Note:
Remember to remove all tools, rags and test equipment from the engine compartment
before closing the hood.
WARNING
Before closing the hood, be sure no one is
in the way of the hood’s descent.

1 With the hood down, set the rubber strap in position and force the locking discs into
the hood latch.
2 Push inward on the plastic handle to lock the rubber strap in place.
