shown in the figure) with hood's own weight.
2. While operating the hood opener, carefully check that the front end of the hood is raised by approx. 20
mm (0.79 in). Also check that the hood opener returns to the original position.
3. Check that the hood opener operating is 294 N (30 kg) or below.
4. Install as static closing face of hood is 392 – 441 Nꞏm (35– 44 kg-m).
5. Check the hood lock lubrication condition. If necessary, apply
“body grease” to the points shown in the figure.
