To tilt the outboard motor, move the
tilt lever to the FREE position, then
raise the outboard motor to the
desired position by pulling on the
engine cover grip.
Do not use the tiller handle as a
lever to raise the outboard motor.
Applying excessive f orce to the tiller
handle can damage it.
While the outboard motor is tilted,
proceed at a low speed, and do not
operate the outboard motor in reverse.
The outboard motor will rise
suddenly if operated in reverse.
Monitor water flow from the cooling
system indicator (p.
29
) to be sure
the outboard motor is not tilted so
high the water intake is out of the
water.
An excessive tilt angle during
operation can cause propeller
ventilation, overheating, and water
pump damage.
