WARNING

●Place the gear shift in neutral before us-

ing the shallow water cruising system.

●Run the boat at the lowest possible speed when using the shallow water cruising system. The tilt lock mecha- nism does not work while the shallow water cruising system is being used. Hitting an underwater obstacle could cause the outboard motor to lift out of the water, resulting in loss of control.

●Do not rotate the outboard motor 180° and operate the boat in reverse. Place the gear shift in reverse to operate the boat in reverse.

●Use extra care when operating in re- verse. Too much reverse thrust can cause the outboard motor to lift out of the water, increasing the chance of ac- cident and personal injury.

●Return the outboard motor to its normal position as soon as the boat is back in deeper water.

CAUTION:

Do not tilt the outboard motor up so that the cooling water inlet on the lower unit is above the surface of the water when setting up for and cruising in shallow water. Otherwise severe damage from overheating can result.
