●
Do not put hand or finger in between
outboard motor body and clamp
bracket when adjusting trim angle to
prevent injury in case the outboard
motor body falls.
●
Unsuitable trim position can cause
loss of control of boat.
When testing a trim position, run
boat slow initially to see if it can be
controlled safely.
!
Excessive trim up or down may lead
to unstable boat operation, potentially
causing the steering difficulty that
leads to accident during cruising.
●
Do not cruise at high speed if
improper trim position is suspected.
Stop the boat and readjust trim
angle before continuing cruise.
