Steering Friction
Tilt Friction
The steering friction was set on your new motor be-
fore it left the factory. After the first 10 hours of ser-
vice, check to see that it is still correct; a slight drag
should be felt when turning the motor. If adjustment
is necessary, turn the adjustment screw:
The tilt friction nut should be adjusted ONLY
enough to control return of gearcase from tilt to nor-
mal (vertical) position.
