TRIM AND TILT
MODES OF OPERATION
Manual Release – UP
The outboard can be positioned manually by first
opening (loosening) the manual release valve.
Open the manual release valve (turn it slowly
counterclockwise) with a screwdriver, about 3 1/2
turns, until it lightly contacts its retaining ring.
When the manual release valve is opened and the
outboard is manually raised, fluid flows from the
top of the tilt cylinder to the manual release valve.
The fluid may pass through the manual release
valve to the bottom of the tilt cylinder, or return to
the reservoir. Additional fluid may be drawn from
the bottom of the trim cylinders, which retract and
draw additional fluid from the reservoir to the tops
of the cylinders.
Trimming Outboard OUT
Pull gearcase out farther than the desired final
position (up into the tilt range, if necessary).
Close the manual release valve.
Manually, push the gearcase in (or down) until it is
supported by the trim system.
Open the manual release valve only enough to let
the outboard trim in to desired position.
Tilting Outboard UP
Tilt outboard up and hold it with a suitable hoist or
engage either its tilt support or trailering bracket.
Close the manual release valve firmly. The man-
ual release valve must be closed to enable the
trim/tilt unit to function.

WARNING
Do not attempt to hold the outboard up by
closing the manual release valve. The out-
board must be held manually, and lowered
to the trim range manually, after it has
been tilted up manually. The outboard can
drop to the trim range if the support is
removed.
