Tilt Friction
With motor in normal operating position:
1)
Remove drain/fill plug and lubricant level plug
from side of gearcase and completely drain
gearcase of old lubricant.
Adjust only enough to control return of gearcase
from tilt to normal operation position.
2)
Examine drained lubricant for metal filings,
milky appearance, or black color with burnt
odor. If old lubricant has any of those charac-
teristics, see your DEALER. If drained lubri-
cant is in good condition, continue.
3)
Place tube of lubricant in drain/fill hole and fill
slowly until lubricant appears at lubricant lev-
el hole. See Engine Specifications for gear-
case capacity.

5)
Install lubricant level plug before removing
tube from drain/fill hole. Drain/fill plug can
then be installed without loss of lubricant.
Securely tighten both plugs.

Tilt friction nut
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overtighten. Doing so in-
creases the pressure required to tilt the motor when
an obstruction is hit. Failure of the motor to tilt upon
impact can result in serious damage.

Drain/fill plug
Lubricant level plug
Thereafter, check level and condition of lubricant
every 50 hours. Replace lubricant every 100 hours
of operation or once each season, whichever oc-
curs first. Refill with Ultra-HPF™ gearcase lubri-
cant. If not available, Hi-Vis® or other marine
gearcase lubricant can be used, however, long
term durability may be affected with continued use.
See your DEALER.
IMPORTANT: To avoid insufficient injection of lu-
bricant, check the gear oil level 10 minutes after fill-
ing. If the oil level is low, slowly inject the lubricant
up to the correct level.
IMPORTANT: The recommended gear lubricants
include special additives for marine applications.
Do not use automotive gear lubricants, 2-stroke or
4-stroke
engine oil, or any other oil or grease for
gearcase applications.
