GETTING STARTED
Here is a list of the tools and supplies that you may need:
Tools and Equipment:
Electric drill with 1/8 drill bit, Phillips head screw driver, tube of dielectric grease for the electrical
connections, 1-1/4” wrench or equivalent tool , hacksaw
NOTICE
DO NOT CUT THE ROD UNTIL ALL THE DIRECTIONS HAVE BEEN
READ AND YOU ARE SURE OF THE ROD LENGTH
YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST 9” ON ONE SIDE OF YOUR KICKER MOTOR AND 14” ON THE OTHER WITH A
T-4, AND AT LEAST 5” ON ONE SIDE OF YOUR KICKER MOTOR AND 14” ON THE OTHER WITH A T-5
***Wireless Remote (55-0105) is also available as an option***

MOUNTING THE T-4/T-5 TO THE TILT TUBE
NOTICE: THE T-4/T-5 IS DESIGNED TO BE MOUNTED ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR MOTOR.
HOWEVER IN SOME INSTALLATIONS, THERE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH ROOM
BETWEEN YOUR MAIN ENGINE AND KICKER MOTOR . IF THIS HAPPENS
AN ADDITIONAL SETBACK PLATE MAY BE NECESSARY. T-4/T-5 CAN BE
MOUNTED ON EITHER SIDE. OF THE MOTOR
Follow these instructions for easy mounting of the T-4/T-5.
1. Insert the drive rod end without the hole, into the tilt tube. Make sure you put it into the end
opposite the side you plan on mounting the T-4/T-5 body (Picture 1)
2. The thread length on the tilt tube and the T-4/T-5 must be the same. To do this, simply count the
threads on each. To increase the threads on the T-4/T-5, turn the nut counterclockwise. To de-
crease the threads on the T-4/T-5, turn the nut clockwise. (In some cases, you will always have
more threads on the tilt tube. In that case, place a supplied nylon spacer/spacers on the tilt tube to
make up the difference and then adjust the nut on the T-4/T-5 accordingly.) (Picture 2).
3. When Step 2 is done, place the T-4/T-5 onto the tilt tube opposite the drive rod and push the T-4/T
-5 body toward the motor while turning the nut (clockwise) . The T-4/T-5 body will automatically
tighten as the nut is tightened to the tilt tube. The nut must be tight against both the T-4/T-5 body
and the motor when complete (Picture 3).
NOTE: 1. If you are having difficulty tightening the nut, it may be fr om excess paint on the tilt
tube threads. Clean the threads with a wire brush and retry. 2. The tilt tube may turn
when you are trying to tighten the T-4/T-5 nut. Prevent the tube from turning using an
appropriate tool [1 -1/4” wrench]. BE CAREFUL not to damage the threads.
4. Thread the drive rod (Step 1) clockwise on to the T-4/T-5 gear bar until secure. At that point,
loosen the r od at least one full turn so the r od can rotate.
