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)

tube  from  drain/fill  hole.  Drain/fill  plug  can
then be installed without loss of lubricant.
Securely tighten both plugs.

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.
