WARNING
Always leave a minimum clearance between
spacers and bull horn in order to allow the rod
tilting in the tilt tube.
Both the stainless steel spacers must be positioned
towards the tilt tube on the opposite side of the
bull horns to avoid their wear during engine lifting
and lowering.

Once the correct spacers have been chosen,
remove the tilt tube rod.
10 Insert the tilt tube rod through a bull horn, then
position the spacers chosen between the bull horn
and the tilt tube.
Insert the tilt tube rod by making it come out on
the opposite side of the tilt tube and position the
spacers.
NOTICE
If the locknuts are disassembled, replace them.
(Contact our assistance service, see page 6).
CAUTION
If while tilting the engine is blocked, reduce the
overall dimensions of the spacers.
WARNING
13 Make sure the engine can tilt.
NOTICE
Do not use any tool for this operation.
15 Check the correct cylinder installation by moving
manually the engine on the right and on the left.
NOTICE
The rotation must be as symmetric as possible between
port and starboard so that the steering angle is the same
on both sides.
WARNING
The engine must stop through
the cylinder end stroke
without coming into contact
with the mechanical stop (13)
on the engine.
NOTICE
Otherwise it is necessary to modify the installation, by
changing the thickness of the spacers and by repeating the
procedure from point 9.
