Checking power trim and tilt system
WARNING
EWM01931
Never get under the lower unit while it is tilted, even
when the tilt support lever is locked. Severe injury
could occur if the outboard motor accidentally falls.
Body parts can be crushed between the motor and the
clamp bracket when the motor is trimmed or tilted.
Be sure no one is near the outboard motor before per-
forming this check.
1.
Check the power trim and tilt unit for any sign of oil
leaks.
2.
Operate each of the power trim and tilt switches on the
digital electronic control and engine bottom cowling (if
equipped) to check that all switches work.
3.
Tilt the outboard motor up and check that the tilt rod and
trim rods are extended completely.
4.
Use the tilt support lever to lock the motor in the up po-
sition. Operate the tilt down switch briefly so the motor
is supported by the tilt support lever.
5.
Check that the tilt rod and trim rods are free of corrosion
or other flaws.
6.
Activate the tilt-down switch until the trim rods have re-
tracted completely into the cylinders.
7.
Activate the trim-up switch until the tilt rod is fully ex-
tended. Unlock the tilt support lever.
