DANGER
WARNING
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.
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.
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.
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.

TILTING
Be sure to turn the fuel lever forward before
tilting up the motor, or fuel will continue to
flow from the built-in tank and fuel may leak
out. When using a separate fuel tank (if
equipped), disconnect the fuel line when-
ever you leave the motor tilted up for a long
period of time, or fuel may leak out.
IMPORTANT: Use the tilt grip to tilt your motor. Do
not use the tiller handle to raise or lower the motor.
