TILTING UP/DOWN
If the engine will be stopped for some time,
or if the boat is moored in shallows, the
engine should be tilted up to protect the pro-
peller and casing from damage by collision
with obstructions, and also to reduce salt
corrosion.
CAUTION:
@
G
Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-
cedures under "STOPPING ENGINE".
Never tilt the motor while the engine is
running. Severe damage from over-
heating can result.
G
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing
the steering handle as this could break
the handle.
G
Keep the power unit higher than the
propeller at all times. Otherwise, water
can run into the cylinder, causing dam-
age.
G
The outboard cannot be tilted up when
the outboard is turned 180° (facing to
the rear).

WARNING
@
When adjusting the tilt angle, be careful
not to pinch any body parts between the
drive unit and engine bracket.

WARNING
@
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Tighten the
air-vent screw and place the fuel cock in
the closed position if the engine will be
tilted for more than a few minutes. Other-
wise, fuel may leak.
