The tilt mechanism allows both tilting and trimming the motor.
You can tilt the motor to remove it from the water (e.g. when it is not in use or when
you land the boat in shallow water). If it is not in use for longer periods of time, we
recommend fixing the motor at the 75° position using the trimming bolt.
Trimming allows you to set the motor at a right angle to the water surface. For this
purpose, boreholes are provided at 5° intervals from 0° to 20°.
See section 8.1 (Fitting the drive onto the boat) to find out how to tilt and trim the motor.
• Only operate the gas spring tilt mechanism when the motor is mounted
roughly vertically. Otherwise, the strong pre-tension of the gas pressure
springs will cause the tilt mechanism to flip up rapidly. This can cause
serious injury. On delivery from the manufacturer, the tilt mechanism
release lever is secured with a cable binder. We recommend securing
the release lever again when you transport or store the motor.
• Do not reach into the opening on top of the transom mount. If you do
so, this can cause squashing when the tilt mechanism is activated.
The opening is marked with a safety sticker.
• Make sure the tilt mechanism audibly clicks into place when you fold it
down.
