Manual Relief Valve

If the power tilt switch does not
operate because of, for example,
dead battery, the outboard motor can
be tilted manually by opening the
manual relief valve.
To move the outboard motor by
hand, turn the manual relief valve
under the stern bracket 2 and a half
turns counterclockwise using a
screw driver.
After moving the outboard motor,
turn the screw clockwise securely.
Be sure to tighten the manual
relief valve securely. The
outboard motor could rise
when sailing in the reverse gear,
resulting in an accidental injury
to the passenger(s).
Do not loosen the manual relief
valve more than three turns, or the
outboard motor cannot be tilted up
when the manual relief valve is
retightened.
