<When the rods do not compress fully>
1) With the rods extended fully, push the “UP” side of the
power tilt switch until the unit blows again. Push the “DN”
side of the power tilt switch, and be sure that the rods
compress.
If the rods compress fully, go to the blow pressure
inspection (P. 15-50).
2) If the rods do not compress after the step 1 operation, push
the “DN” side of the power tilt switch while pushing the
piston rod B, and check whether the rods compress.
If the rods compress fully, go to the blow pressure
inspection (P. 15-50).
3) If the rods still do not compress after the step 2 operation,
loosen the manual valve and compress each rod. Tighten
the manual valve securely again. Push the “UP” side of the
power tilt switch to extend the rods fully, then push the
“DN” side of the switch and check whether the rods
compress fully.
If the rods compress fully, go to the blow pressure
inspection (P. 15-50).
4) If the rods do not compress fully after the above operation,
disassemble (P. 15-36) and reassemble (P. 15-42) the power
trim/tilt assembly and bleed air with the power trim/tilt
assembly not mounted on the outboard motor (P. 15-48).
<Air bleeding with power trim/tilt assembly
mounted on the outboard motor>
Perform the following procedure after bleeding air without
mounting the power trim/tilt assembly on the outboard motor
(P. 15-48) and after blow pressure inspection (P. 15-50).
1) Install the power trim/tilt assembly on the outboard motor
2) Push the “UP” side of the power tilt switch and raise the
outboard motor to the uppermost position.
Remove the oil tank cap, and check whether the Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF) is at the upper limit of the oil filler
port of the oil tank.
If the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) does not flow out
of the oil filler port, add the Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATF) up to the upper limit of the oil filler port using a
syringe or equivalent tool.
