Do not use the tilt support lever/knob

motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the motor can not be
trailered in the down position, use an
additional support device to secure it in
the up position.

When storing your outboard motor for pro-

to storage. However, the following proce-
dures can be performed by the owner with a
