5. AIR BLEEDING
<Power trim/tilt assembly not mounted on the
outboard motor>
• Bleed air from the unit whenever the power trim/tilt assembly
is disassembled.
• Be sure to perform air bleeding in the following order.
Air bleeding without mounting the unit on the outboard
motor; Check on blow pressure; Air bleeding after mounting
the unit on the outboard motor.
Connect each cable to operate the power trim/tilt assembly.
– Connect the positive (+) and negative (–) starter cables.
– Connect the power tilt motor 2P connector to the power tilt
relay.
– Be sure that the starter cables are connected to the battery.
1) Hold the power trim/tilt assembly vertically.
2) Push the “DN” side of the power tilt switch to compress
each rod fully.
3) Push the “UP” side of the power tilt switch to extend each
rod fully.
4) Remove the oil tank cap with each rod extended fully.
Check whether the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is at
the upper limit of the oil tank filler port.
If Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) does not flow out of
the filler port, add Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) up
to the upper limit of the filler port using a syringe or
equivalent tool.
• Check the fluid level with the rods fully extended.
Note that Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) will spurt
out when the oil tank cap is removed with the rods fully
compressed.
5) After adding Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), repeat
the procedure from step 2 through 4 two or three times to
bleed air from the unit.
6) Be sure that the rods extend and compress during the step
5 operation.
• When the rods extend and compress fully, perform the
blow pressure check (P. 15-50) and air bleeding with the
unit mounted on the outboard motor (P. 15-49).
• When the rods do not compress fully, perform the
procedure explained under <when the rods do not
compress fully> (P. 15-49).
