2.11 Tilt &Trimming outboard motor
Adjust the outboard motor trim angle using the power trim and tilt switch.
WARNING
：
Stop the engine before adjusting the trim angle.
Use care to avoid being pinched.
Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch
for any signs of instability or control problems. Improper trim angle can cause loss of
control.
If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard motor
should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damaged by collision with obstructions, and
also to reduce corrosion.
WARNING
：
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.
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.
