OPERATION
TILTING
DANGER
IMPORTANT: Use the tilt grip to tilt your motor. Do
not use the tiller handle to raise or lower the motor.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
Tilt Lock Lever
The tilt lock lever is used to hold the motor in the full
tilt up position and shallow-water drive position.
WARNING
WARNING
DO NOT place your hands near the mount-
ing bracket or under the motor when tilting,
or they could be crushed if the motor slips
from your grasp.
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to
result in serious injury or death. Assure the
engine and prop area is clear of people and
objects before starting engine or operating
boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller,
even when the engine is off. Blades can be
sharp and the propeller can continue to turn
even after the engine is off. Always shut off
the engine when near people in the water.
Tilt Up
Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL. Grip the tilt grip
on the back of the motor cover and tilt the motor all
the way up until it is automatically locked in the UP
position by the tilt lock lever.
MOTOR ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
1
Motor should be perpendicular to the water when
the boat is underway at full speed. This adjustment
can only be determined by water testing the boat.
Set angle adjustment for your normal load.
Place motor in full tilt position. Refer to Tilting.
Remove the nut and spacer from the angle adjust-
ing rod. Remove the angle adjusting rod from the
swivel bracket. Reposition angle adjusting rod in
desired holes.
