OPERATION
The outboard motor can also 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 flat blade
screwdriver to turn the valve
counterclockwise 3 and a half turns.
Close the valve firmly after
positioning the outboard motor.
Check that nobody is under the
outboard motor before opening the
manual relief valve. If the manual
relief valve is loosened (turned
counterclockwise) when the outboard
motor is tilted up, the outboard motor
will suddenly tilt down.
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.
MULTIPLE OUTBOARD
MOTORS
On boats equipped with more than
one outboard motor, all motors
normally operate at the same time.
If one or more motor(s) is stopped
while the other(s) is running, put the
stopped motor in ‘‘N’’ (neutral) and
tilt it up so its propeller is above the
water’s surface.
If the propeller of the stopped motor
is left in the water, it may turn as the
boat moves through the water,
causing a reverse flow of water from
the exhaust side. This reverse flow
will happen if the stopped engine’s
propeller is in the water, its gearshift
is in ‘‘R’’ (reverse), and the boat is
moving forward. Reverse flow can
cause an engine malfunction.
