OPERATION OF TILTING
SYSTEMS
TILT LOCK
When you shift the motor into “REVERSE”
gear, the motor will automatically lock so that it
will not lift out of the water due to forces such as
propeller thrust.
WARNING
When the shallow water position is used,
the tilt lock will not work. As a result,
forces such as from propeller thrust dur-
ing operation in “REVERSE” gear, rapid
deceleration, and striking an underwater
object can cause the motor to lift out of
the water, resulting in personal injury.
When using the shallow water position,
proceed with caution and only at very low
speeds.
TILT UP LOCK ARM
The tilt up lock arm is used to hold the motor in
the fully tilted up position and shallow water
position.
FULL TILT UP POSITION
To hold the motor in the fully raised position:
1. Shift into “NEUTRAL”.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to the right (off posi-
tion) and tighten the air vent screw on the
fuel filler cap.
WARNING
If you place your hands near the mount-
ing bracket or under the motor when tilt-
ing it, your hands can be crushed if the
motor slips from your grasp.
Never place your hands near the mount-
ing bracket or under the motor when tilt-
ing it.
