OPERATION
Tilt Lock Lever
DANGER
The tilt lock lever has two positions: The down
LOCK position and the up RELEASE position.
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
1
Tilt lock lever – LOCK position
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.
1.
LOCK Position (DOWN)
Use the LOCK position when operating in RE-
VERSE and in normal deep water operation where
there is no likelihood of striking underwater objects.
Placing the tilt lock lever in the LOCK position pre-
vents the motor from lifting out of the water due to
forces such as propeller thrust during operation in
REVERSE or rapid deceleration.
MOTOR ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
The motor should be perpendicular to the water
when the boat is underway at full speed. This ad-
justment can only be determined by water testing
the boat. Set angle adjustment for your normal
load.
Place motor in full tilt position. Refer to Tilting.
Move angle adjusting rod as shown.
If you strike an underwater object with tilt
lock lever in the LOCK position, severe
damage may result, even though the force
may be sufficient to release the tilt lock.
When operating the motor in an area where
you may encounter underwater objects,
move the tilt lock lever to the RELEASE
position and operate the motor only at very
low speeds.
TILTING
IMPORTANT: Use the tilt grip to tilt your motor. Do
not use the tiller handle to raise or lower the motor.
