Check fluid level in power trim and tilt unit Remove the filling plug (3) and seal (4). Check the fluid level in the reservoir. NOTE! If the fluid is correctly levelled, only a small amount of fluid should come out of the filling hole when the plug is removed.
STARTING THE OUTBOARD WARNING WARNING Before starting the engine, make Attach the engine kill-cord in sure that the boat is tightly a secure way to your clothes/ moored and that you can steer floating device or wrist while clear of any obstructions. Be sure operating the boat.
CAUTION WARNING Never turn the ignition key to Stop the engine immediately if start while the engine is running. an oil-pressure warning is lit on the engine display and the buzzer Do not let the starter turn for sounds. Risk for severe engine more than 5 seconds.
Check if the sea-water inlet or outlet is blocked. Clean if necessary. Restart the engine. If the fault still remains may indicate a water pump failure or a blockage in the cooling system. Check the sea water pump impeller and change if broken Place control lever in N or worn.
POWER TRIM OPERATION The OXE Diesel outboard is equipped the effect of trimming. Note the with a hydraulic trim system, with time it takes for the boat to plane, which you can change the angle of watch the speed readings and the the drive in relation to the transom.

POWER TILT OPERATION If the outboard is shut off for a Bow down longer period or if the boat is moored in shallow water, the outboard should be tilted up. This is to protect the propeller and lower housing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion.
Procedure for tilting up Power trim and tilt switch on engine cowling Place the control head lever in neutral position. Trim and tilt switch on cowling The power trim and tilt switch is located on the starboard side of the bottom engine cowling.
