RESERVOIR AND POWER TRIM AND TILT MOTOR
WARNING
• To prevent the hydraulic fluid from spurt-
ing out due to internal pressure, the out-
board should be kept fully tilted up (the
tilt rod at full length).
• After removing the power trim and tilt
motor or reservoir, do not push the tilt
ram down. This may cause hydraulic fluid
to spurt out from the port.
CAUTION:
Do not wipe hydraulic system components
with rags, paper, tissues, or the like, as
fibers from such material will cause mal-
functions if they enter the system.
