Anti-grounding Mode
When the boat runs in shallow water or complicated underwater conditions,
it may have grounding dangers. Set the outboard in anti-grounding mode will
protect the outboard motor from damage if the outboard hits submerged
reefs or rocks. In anti-grounding mode, the underwater part of outboard is
flexible in tilting direction and the motor will tilt up if it hits something
underwater.
Never turn the throttle backward when the outboard is in anti-grounding
mode.
To set the outboard in anti-grounding mode:
Step1: Pull the pin to the limit and hold, then toggle the tilt handle to upmost
position.
