14) Removal of PT Unit / Gas Shock Absorber

1. Fully tilt up the outboard motor and lock it with the tilt
stopper 1.
• Leaving the outboard motor up without
locking may lead to accidental descent
due to the reduction of PT unit hydraulic
pressure. Be sure to lock the motor with
the stopper when the outboard motor is
tilted up.
• When removing and installing the PT
unit without removing the power unit,
suspend and support the outboard motor
with a hoist. Failure to do so may result
in the outboard motor falling, which is
dangerous.
• If the PT unit does not operate, loosen the
manual valve and lift up the outboard motor
manually.
• When the manual valve is loosened, be sure to
tighten it to the specified torque after tilting up
the outboard motor.
