SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
MANUAL RELIEF VALVE
The outboard motor can be tilted
manually after opening the manual
relief valve. This feature enables the
outboard motor to be tilted up or
down when no battery is connected.
For manual tilting, use a screwdriver
to turn the valve counterclockwise 1
or 2 turns. Close the valve firmly
after positioning the outboard motor.
Be sure the valve is closed before
operating the outboard motor. If the
valve is not closed, the outboard
motor will tilt up when operated in
reverse.
