on the trim of the boat when operating.

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 colli-
sion with obstructions, and also to reduce
salt corrosion.

Before tilting the motor, follow the proce-
dures under "STOPPING ENGINE". Never
tilt the motor while the engine is run-
ning. Severe damage from overheating
can result.
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 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.)
