Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be careful not to pinch
any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.
Tighten the air vent screw and place the fuel cock in the closed position if the outboard motor will be tilted
for more than a few minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
NOTE:
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the tiller handle because this could
break the handle. The outboard motor cannot be tilted when in reverse
or when the outboard motor is turn 180 Degrees (facing the rear).
Tilting Up
1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral (if equipped) and face the
outboard motor forward. (W)
2. Tighten the steering friction adjuster by turning it clockwise to
prevent the motor from turning freely. (X)
3. Tighten the air vent screw (Y), and close the fuel cock.
4. Hold the rear handle and tilt the engine up fully until the tilt support
lever automatically locks. (Z)
Tilting Down
1. Slightly tilt the outboard motor up.
2. Slowly tilt the outboard motor down while pulling the tilt support bar lever up.
3. Loose the steering friction adjuster by turning it counterclockwise, and adjust the steering friction
according to operator preference.
