6. OPERATION (POWER TRIM/TILT TYPE)
Power Tilt Switch (Motor Pan)
POtiR TILT SWITCH
The power tilt switch located on the
motor pan is a convenience switch for
tilting the motor for trailering, or per-
forming outboard motor maintenance.
This power tilt switch should only be
operated when the boat is stopped and
the motor is off.
Manual Relief Valve
LE
Do not turn this screw. If this screw is
turned hydraulic oil will bleed out of
the power trim/tilt system. Should this
happen it will be necessary to contact
your closest authorized Honda Marine
dealer and have the system refilled.
If the power trim/tilt switch will not
tilt the outboard motor, the motor can
be manually tilted up or down by
operating the manual relief valve. To
tilt the outboard motor manually, turn
the manual relief valve under the left
stem bracket no more than 1 or 2 turns
counterclockwise using a screw driver.
After tilting the motor, turn the manual
relief valve clockwise securely. The
manual relief valve must be tightened
securely before operating the motor or
the motor could tilt up when operating
in reverse.
