| 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 propeller and casing from damage by |
| collision with obstructions, and also to |
000516 | reduce salt corrosion. |
cC
Before tilting the motor, follow the procedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”. Never tilt the motor while the engine is running. Severe damage from overheating can result.
w
Be sure all people are clear of the outboard 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 or close the fuel cock if the engine will be tilted for more than a few minutes. Otherwise, fuel may leak. (If the fuel connector is provided on the motor.)
