TILTING UP/DOWN
If the engine will be stopped for some time,
or if the boat is moored in shallows, the
engine should be tilted up to protect the pro-
peller and casing from damage by collision
with obstructions, and also to reduce salt
corrosion.
CAUTION:
@
●
Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-
cedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.
Never tilt the motor while the engine is
running. Severe damage from over-
heating can result.
●
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing
the steering handle as this could break
the handle.
@
WARNING
@
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt
angle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and
engine bracket.
@
WARNING
@
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Disconnect
the fuel line if the engine will be tilted for
more than a few minutes. Otherwise, fuel
may leak. (If the fuel connector is pro-
vided on the motor.)
