TILT AID SYSTEM

The DF40QH/50QH models are equipped with a tilt aid cylin-
der assembly located between the PORT and STBD clamp
brackets.
This mechanism helps decrease the manual effort required
to tilt the motor. The nitrogen gas sealed in the cylinder ex-
pands as the cylinder rod extends, thereby assisting the
manual tilting process.
