A SELVA motor is equipped with device, which adjusts the trim angle so

This operation must be carried out with the engine not in motion
and paying very much attention.
Cruising in shallows, run the boat at the lowest possible speed.
Release the free-lock lever.
Close the safety valve of the fuel tank (for motors with incorporated fuel
tank).
Tilt up the engine till the first automatic stop using only the tilt up handle.
To bring the engine to the home position, tilt up slightly the engine (using
always the proper handle), release the tilt support bar, operating the
shallow water levers and take the motor again to its vertical position, then
set the free lock lever to the lock position.
