TILTING UP/DOWN
If the engine will be stopped for some time,
or if the boat is moored in shallows, the
engine should be tilted up to protect the pro-
peller and casing from damage by collision
with obstructions, and also to reduce salt
corrosion.
cC
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-
ing can result.
8 Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the
steering handle as this could break the
handle.
w
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt angle,
also be careful not to pinch any body
parts between the drive unit and engine
bracket.
w
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Disconnect
the fuel line if the engine will be tilted for
more than a few minutes. Otherwise, fuel
may leak. (If the fuel connector is provid-
ed on the motor.)
