WARNING SYSTEM
Warning System Activated
2 If the engine overheats, immediately reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift
outboard into neutral and check for a steady stream of water coming out of the
water pump indicator hole (a).
If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole or flow is intermittent,
stop engine and check cooling water intake holes for obstruction. If no obstruction
is found, this may indicate a blockage in the cooling system or a water pump
problem. Have the outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the engine while
overheated will cause engine damage. See the following note.
If a steady flow of water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole and the
engine continues to overheat, consult your dealer. Operating an overheated
engine will cause engine damage. See the following note.
Note: Should overheating occur and you are stranded, stop the engine and allow
it to cool down this will usually allow some additional low speed (idle) running time
before the engine starts to overheat again.

Low Oil Pressure
The warning system will be activated if the oil pressure drops too low. First, stop
the engine and check the oil level. Add oil if necessary. If the oil is at the
recommended level and the warning horn continues to sound, consult your dealer.
Engine speed will be limited to 2000 RPM, however you should not continue to run
engine.

MANUAL GAS ASSISTED TILT SYSTEM – TILLER
HANDLE MODELS WITHOUT POWER TRIM
Models without power trim are equipped with a tilt assist system that allows the
operator to easily tilt and lock the outboard at any tilt position from full down to full
up.
This tilt system is designed to be adjusted when the outboard is idling in neutral
or with the engine turned off.
1 Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving the
tilt lock lever (a) to the LOCK/RUN position.
WARNING
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving
the tilt lock lever to LOCK/RUN position. Failure to lock the outboard in its tilt
position could result in the outboard tilting up out of the water during decel-
eration or while operating in reverse, resulting in possible loss of boat con-
trol. Loss of boat control can result in serious injury, death, or boat damage.
Basic Tilting Operation
2 Move tilt lock lever (a) to the TILT (b) position. Tilt outboard to desired position
and lock in place by moving the tilt lock lever back to the LOCK/RUN (c)
position.

Shallow Water Operation
1 When operating your boat in shallow water, the outboard can be adjusted and
locked at a higher tilt angle. Operate your outboard at slow speed while tilted
up for shallow water operation. Keep the cooling water intake holes submerged
in the water and continue to check for water discharge from the water pump
indicator hole.
Tilting Outboard To Full Up Position
2 Stop the engine. Move the tilt lock lever to TILT position. Take hold of the top
cowl grip and raise outboard to full tilt up position. Lock the outboard in place
by moving the tilt lock lever to LOCK/RUN position.
3 Push in the tilt support pin (a).
4 Lower outboard to rest on the tilt support pin.
5 Disengage the tilt support pin by raising the outboard off the support pin and
pulling out the support pin. Lower the outboard.
6 Move tilt lock lever to LOCK/RUN position.

Operating Angle Adjustment
1 The transom brackets have five holes (a) for adjusting the operating angle
(forward stop movement) of the outboard. Tilt stops (b) are installed for
adjustment in the first hole. Use tilt pin (c) provided for adjustments in the
remaining four holes. Remove tilt pin when using the tilt stops.
2 Adjust the operating angle of the outboard so that the outboard runs
perpendicular to the water when the boat is at full speed. See next page for
examples.
a. Too Much Angle (Bow Up) - Adjust In.
b. Not Enough Angle (Bow Down) - Adjust Out.
c. Angle Adjusted Properly (Bow Slightly Up).
Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed evenly.
The outboard should be locked against the tilt stops or pin during operation by
setting the tilt lock lever to the LOCK/RUN position.
