8. Check to make sure the rubber bumper is contacting the end of the slot when the hood is raised (position
shown) and when it is lowered.
Figure 42
9. If the bumper is not contacting in both directions, adjust how far the cylinder rod is threaded into the rod end.
Loosen jam nut, then:
•
If not contacting when hood is in UP position, rotate cylinder rod in CCW direction (when viewing from above)
using flats on rod.
•
If not contacting when hood is in DOWN position, rotate cylinder rod in CW direction.
Figure 43
Do not adjust CW more than necessary, doing so will decrease the thread engagement
between the rod and rod end; there should be no more than 5/8” (16mm) exposed
surface between the cylinder rod shoulder and the bottom face of the rod end.
