OPERATION
Manual Relief Valve
When power trim/tilt system does not
operate because of dead battery or
faulty power trim/tilt motor, the
outboard motor can be manually
tilted up or down by operating the
manual relief valve.
To tilt the outboard motor manually,
turn the manual relief valve under the
stern bracket 1 or 2 turns
counterclockwise using a
screwdriver.
After tilting up/down manually, close
the manual relief valve to lock the
outboard motor in the position.
Check that no person is under the
outboard motor before carrying out
this operation because if the manual
relief valve is loosened (turned
counterclockwise) when the
outboard motor is tilted up, the
outboard motor will suddenly tilt
down.
The manual relief valve must be
tightened securely before
operating the outboard motor or
the outboard motor could tilt when
operating in reverse.
