HOOD TILT PART 3: GETTING TO YOUR ENGINE
– 12 – Y53-6032 (R05/10)
2. Locate the hood anti-blowdown device mounted to the
driver side hood dampener.
WARNING! The hood uses two struts to con-
trol movement during opening and closing.
Do not tilt the hood with one or both struts
disconnected. Replace damaged, worn, or
leaking struts as soon as possible. Tilting a
hood with either strut disconnected or defec-
tive may cause the hood to tilt too rapidly.
You could be killed or injured and the hood
could be damaged.
3. Verify that the device was previously reset during the
last hood closing event. This is done by pulling the
collar in the downward direction.
WARNING! Always verify that the hood anti-
blowdown device has been reset when open-
ing the hood. The device is reset either by
fully closing the hood or by manually pulling
the device down. Failure to reset the antiblow-
down device may lead to a hood closing unin-
tentially which can cause death or personal
injury to anyone under the hood.
