WARNING

EWM00220

Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when tilting up and down,
also be careful not to pinch any body
parts between the drive unit and engine

bracket.

WARNING

EWM00230

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Tighten the
air vent screw and place the fuel cock in
the closed position if the outboard motor
will be tilted for more than a few minutes.

Otherwise fuel may leak.

CAUTION:

ECM00230

●

Before tilting the outboard motor, fol-
low the procedure under “Stopping en-
gine”in this chapter. Never tilt the
outboard motor while the engine is run-
ning. Severe damage from overheating
can result.

●

Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the
tiller handle because this could break
the handle.

●

Keep the power unit higher than the
propeller at all times. Otherwise water
could run into the cylinder and cause
damage.

●

The outboard motor cannot be tilted

when in reverse or when the outboard

motor is turned 180° (facing the rear).

EMU27964

Procedure for tilting up (manual tilt
models)

1.

Place the gear shift lever in neutral (if
equipped) and face the outboard motor
forward.

2.

On full-pivot system models, tighten the
steering friction adjuster by turning it
clockwise to prevent the motor from
turning freely.

3.

Tighten the air vent screw. On models
equipped with a fuel joint, disconnect the
fuel line from the outboard motor.
