TILTING UP/DOWN

8 Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-
cedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.
Never tilt the motor while the engine is
running. Severe damage from overheat-

steering handle as this could break the
handle.
8 Keep the power unit higher than the pro-
peller at all times. Otherwise, water can
run into the cylinder, causing damage.
