9.1 Installation of the cover support bracket
Before the first start install the cover support bracket,
which is supplied with Snowdog. You will need a Philips
screwdriver for that (not included).
Unscrew the cover fixing screw in the top part of the chassis.
Insert the bracket under the cover, aligning the screw holes
with the holes in the chassis. If necessary, bracket may be
slightly bended to align the holes.
Screw the bolts, previously unscrewed from the chassis, so
that the bracket would be placed between chassis and the
cover, and would separate hot muffler from the cover.
Then put a fabric cover on the Snowdog. Make sure that
there is a distance between cover and muffler of not less
than 4 inches (100 mm). If the distance is less than 4 inches
(100 mm), bend the cover bracket.
