Tilting up and down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or
if the boat is moored in shallows, the out-

WARNING
EWM00223
Make sure that no one is near the out-
board motor when tilting the outboard
motor up or down. Otherwise, body parts
could be crushed between the outboard

fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-

Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the
