To lower the motor back down:
1. Move the tilt lock lever 1 to the lock position.
2. Pull the motor slightly towards you and
slowly let the motor down.
WARNING
When the shallow water position is used, the
tilt lock will not work. As a result, forces such
as from propeller thrust during operation in
“REVERSE” gear, rapid deceleration, and
striking an underwater object can cause the
motor to lift out of the water, resulting in per-
sonal injury.
When using the shallow water position, pro-
ceed with caution and only at very low
speeds.
INSPECTION BEFORE
BOATING
It is important to make sure that your boat and
motor are in good condition and that you are
properly prepared for an emergency.
Always perform the following checks before you
begin boating:
• Make sure that you have enough fuel for
the intended run.
• Check the level of engine oil in the sump.
To check the oil level:
NOTE:
To avoid an incorrect assessment of engine oil
level, check the level only when the engine has
cooled.
1. Place the motor in a vertical position, and
remove the motor cover by unlocking the
lever.
WARNING
Failure to inspect your boat and motor before
beginning a trip can be hazardous.
Before boating, always perform the inspec-
tions described in this section.
NOTICE
Running the engine with an insufficient
amount of oil can cause serious engine dam-
age.
Always check the oil level before each trip and
add oil if necessary.
