OPERATION
TILTING
DANGER
To tilt the motor, grasp tilt grip at rear of engine cov-
er and pull motor to full tilt position. Push in the tilt
lock pin.
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.
WARNING
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.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT tilt the motor by pushing
down on the steering handle.
To lower the motor, pull the tilt lock pin and gently
lower the motor until it rests against the angle ad-
justment bolt.
PROPELLER SELECTION
To select the correct propeller for your boating ap-
plication, your boat and motor MUST be water test-
ed. See your DEALER for assistance.
WARNING
If the motor will be left tilted for more than a
few minutes, close the fuel tank vent screw
and close the fuel shut-off valve. Failure to
do so might allow fuel leakage which could
lead to fire or explosion.
Refer to Propeller before removing or installing
propeller.
IMPORTANT: The correct propeller for your boat,
under normal load conditions, will allow the engine
to run near the midpoint of the RPM operating
range at full throttle. Refer to Engine Specifica-
tions.
The motor will automatically tilt as needed upon
striking an underwater object during FORWARD
travel. It cannot tilt when swiveled for REVERSE
operation.
