11-44 DF140 “K2” (’02) MODEL
MANUAL RELEASE CIRCUIT (DOWN MODE)
(1) By opening the manual release valve K, the engine can be lowered manually to a running position. Oil
underneath the trim and tilt pistons will be directed through this valve into the area above the tilt rod
piston.
(2) The volume of oil flowing from under the trim rod pistons will be larger than the area above the tilt rod
piston can accommodate. Excess oil therefore returns through the manual release valve K to the reser-
voir.
