!
When taking the motor from package
or removing the motor from the boat,
never release the lock lever. If the lock
lever is released, it will be very easy
the clamp bracket to spring up to the
tilting direction because it is not fixed.
*Tie the clamp bracket to the
outboard with a rope.
*Pay attention to the tilting direction
so as not to be injured by the
springing clamp bracket.
