models)

Be sure all people are clear of the
out- board motor when adjusting the
trim angle. Body parts can be crushed
be- tween the motor and the clamp
bracket when the motor is trimmed or
tilted.
Use caution when trying a trim
position for the first time. Increase
speed gradu- ally and watch for any
signs of instabil- ity or control
problems. Improper trim angle can
cause loss of control.
If equipped with a power trim and
tilt switch located on the bottom
cowling, use the switch only when the
boat is at a complete stop with the
engine off. Do not adjust the trim angle
with this switch while the boat is
moving.
Tilt the engine to the desired angle using the
power tilt switch.
Stop the engine before
adjusting the trim angle.
Use care to avoid being
pinched when removing or installing
the rod.
