–
Push the lever (3)on the engine bonnet up-
wards with your left hand.
WARNING
Risk of injury from the bonnet low-
ering!
The bonnet is fitted with a gas spring that
holds the bonnet in the open position. When addi-
tional load is present, for example heavy objects,
strong wind or other persons, the bonnet can lower
suddenly. Cold weather and ageing can also reduce
the performance of the gas spring and cause the
bonnet to lower.
–
If the force of the gas spring is deteriorating, re-
place the gas spring.
–
To replace the gas spring, contact the authorised
service centre.
