Make sure that all people are clear of the
outboard motor when tilting the outboard
motor up and down. Body parts can be
crushed between the outboard motor and
the clamp bracket when the outboard mo-
tor is trimmed or tilted.

Before tilting the outboard motor, follow
the procedure under “Stopping engine”
in this chapter. Never tilt the outboard
motor while the engine is running. Se-
vere damage from overheating can re-
sult.
To prevent the cooling water passages
from becoming frozen when the ambi-
ent temperature is 5°C (41°F) or below,
tilt the outboard motor up after it has
been stopped 30 seconds or more.
TIP:
When the PTT TotalTilt function is activated,
you can tilt the outboard motor up/down au-
tomatically without keeping the PTT switch
pressed. For further information, see page
65.
