This bracket The system consists of: protects the hydraulic system from damage.
TRIM AND TILT MODES OF OPERATION MODES OF OPERATION The trim/tilt hydraulic assembly achieves trim and tilt moveme nt through the following mod es of operation. Trim-OUT / Tilt-UP Mode When the UP switch is pressed, the trim/tilt motor rotates clockwise (as viewed from pump end) and turns the pump gears.
TRIM AND TILT MODES OF OPERATION Tilt-DOWN / Trim-IN Mode When the DOWN switch is pressed, t he trim/tilt motor rot ates counterclockwise (as viewed from pump end) and turns the pump gears. Fluid pressure passes through the DOWN shuttle valve to the UP shuttle valve, which mechanically opens the UP check valve.
TRIM AND TILT MODES OF OPERATION Impact Relief Should the gearcase hit an underwater object and the ou tboard suddenly tilts u p, th e t ilt cylinder extends. The fluid abo ve the piston is co m- pressed, producing high pressure. This h igh pressure f luid p asses th rough the impact relie f valves in t he tilt piston, dissipating much of the energy of the impact.
TRIM AND TILT MODES OF OPERATION Shallow Water Drive Tilt Relief If the outboard exceeds idle RPM while operating in shallow water d rive mode (tilted up be yond the trim range ), increase d pressure ben eath the tilt piston forces fluid through the tilt relief valve built into the manual release valve.
TRIM AND TILT MODES OF OPERATION Manual Release – UP The outboard can be positio ned manually by fir st opening (loosening) the manual release valve. Open the manu al relea se valve (turn it slowly counterclockwise) with a screwdriver, about 3 1/2 turns, until it lightly contacts its retaining ring.
TRIM AND TILT MODES OF OPERATION Manual Release – DOWN When the manual release valve is opened and the outboard is ma nually tilted do wn or trimmed in, fluid f lows f rom th e botto m of the tilt cylinder ( in the tilt range), or from the bottom of all of the cylin- ders (in the t rim range), and p ast the manu al release valve.

SAFETY If weakened, parts could fail later on the water, when not expected If boat plate shows... Use only or smaller When rigging or fixing any boat, if transom looks weak, tell the owner. Mount on flat surface only. If transom is Use shims to make surface flat.
SAFETY Outboard Hydraulic Tilt/Trim Shock Absorption System and Safety What is most important? • Shock absorption system must always be ready to absorb some blows to the lower parts of the outboard. • Outboard must not trim in too far suddenly. What can happen? Without shock protection, a blow like this could cause serious damage to the outboard and injury to boat occupants from the outboard or its parts entering the boat.
SAFETY Outboard Emergency Stop System and Safety The emergency system begins here at the clip and lanyard..and ends here in the ignition system on the powerhead. What is most important? • The emergency stop system must STOP the engine when the clip is removed or the lanyard pulled from the emergency stop / key switch.
Page 379
SAFETY What could happen? If lanyard is cut or frayed..lanyard or clip may break when pulled... If engine does NOT stop when lanyard is pulled, an operator thrown from the boat could be hit as boat circles area. Or, boat may not turn but leave area as a runaway.
SAFETY Summing up Now you know some things that can take the joy out of boating. No doubt about it—proper safety takes time! • Reading and understanding instructions • Re-reading warnings marked “ ” • Putting parts together correctly • Making correct adjustments •...

SAFETY Running outboard too fast (Overspeeding) • “Too fast” means running faster than outboard normally runs on boat. Running too fast can happen when: 1) Using a flushing device... Turn on water before starting outboard. Keep eng ine speed below 200 0 RPM. With no load, outboard will run too fa st very easily.

SAFETY Running outboards: Propellers DANGER Contact with a rotating propeller is lik ely t o result in s erious in jury or de ath. Ass ure the engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat. Do not allow anyon e near a propeller, even when th e engine is off.
