WARNING
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Tighten the
air vent screw and place the fuel cock in
the closed position if the outboard motor
will be tilted for more than a few minutes.
Otherwise fuel may leak.
NOTICE
Before tilting the outboard motor, follow
the procedure under "Stopping engine"
in this chapter. Never tilt the outboard
motor while the engine is running. Se-
vere damage from overheating can re-
sult.
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the
tiller handle because this could break
the handle.
Keep the power unit higher than the pro-
peller at all times. Otherwise water could
run into the cylinder and cause damage.
The outboard motor cannot be tilted
when in reverse or when the outboard
motor is turned 180° (facing the rear).
