NOTICE
 Before tilting the outboard motor, follow
the procedure under "Stopping engine"
in this chapter. Never tilt the outboard
motor while the engine is running. Se-
vere damage from overheating can re-
sult.
 Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the
tiller handle because this could break
the handle.
 Keep the power unit higher than the pro-
peller at all times. Otherwise water
could run into the cylinder and cause
damage.
 The outboard motor cannot be tilted
when in reverse or when the outboard
motor is turned 180° (facing the rear).
