and lubricate the piston assembly with trim/tilt
fluid.

Place the piston into the cylinder of the trim and tilt
assembly. Carefully push the rod and piston
assembly into the cylinder until the end cap just
clears the cylinder top. Leave enough room to
pour fluid into the cylinder. Fill the cylinder with
Power Trim/Tilt & Steering Fluid. Failure to fill the
cylinder could cause difficulty purging air from the
trim and tilt assembly.
Use end cap spanner wrench, P/N 352932, to
install the end cap. Tighten to a torque of 60 to 85
ft. lbs. (81 to 115 N·m).
Raise the trim and tilt assembly to the full UP posi-
tion. Remove the fill plug and check the fluid level.
Fill until fluid runs out of the fill hole of the mani-
fold. Cycle the tilt and trim assembly up and down
several times. Recheck level until fill.
