3. Disengage the tilt support pin, by raising the outboard off the support pin
and pulling out the support pin. Lower the outboard.
MANUAL TILTING
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can
be manually tilted.
NOTE: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before operating the
outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up during reverse operation.
Turn out the manual tilt release valve three turns counterclockwise. This allows
manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt the outboard to the desired position and
tighten the manual tilt release valve.
