WARNING
 Never get under the lower unit while it is
tilted, even when the tilt support lever is
locked. Severe injury could occur if the
outboard motor accidentally falls.
 Body parts can be crushed between the
motor and the clamp bracket when the
motor is trimmed or tilted.
 Be sure no one is near the outboard mo-
tor before performing this check.
1. Check the power trim and tilt unit for any
sign of oil leaks.
2. Operate each of the power trim and tilt
switches on the remote control and en-
gine bottom cowling to check that all
switches work.
3. Tilt the outboard motor up and check
that the tilt rod and trim rods are extend-
ed completely.
