Operation Of Tilting Systems; Tilt Lock Lever - Suzuki DF15A Owner's Manual

NOTE:
• Canceling of the system activation is possible
regardless of whether or not the engine oil
has been replaced. Once the system has
operated, however, Suzuki strongly recom-
mends that the engine oil be replaced before
canceling the system activation.
• Even if the engine oil has been replaced with
the system not operating, it is still necessary
to perform the cancellation.

OPERATION OF TILTING
SYSTEMS

TILT LOCK LEVER

The tilt lock lever A has two positions.
"LOCK" Position (DOWN)
Use this position when "REVERSE" gear is
engaged and in normal deep water operation
where there is no likelihood of striking underwa-
ter objects. Placing the tilt lock lever in the "lock"
position prevents the motor from lifting out of
the water due to forces such as propeller thrust
during operation in "REVERSE" gear or rapid
deceleration.
NOTICE
If you strike an underwater object with
the tilt lock lever in the "LOCK" position,
your outboard motor or boat may be dam-
aged.
When operating the motor in an area
where you may encounter underwater
objects, move the tilt lock lever to the
"RELEASE" position and operate the
motor only at very low speeds.
