8 Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt-support
knob is locked. Severe injury could
occur if the outboard accidentally falls.

board before performing this test.
1) Check the power tilt unit for any sign
of oil leaks.
2) Operate each of the power tilt switch-
es on remote control and engine bot-
tom cowling (if equipped) to check
that all switches work.
3) Tilt up the motor and check that the
tilt rod 1 is pushed out completely.

sion or other flaws.
