4. To return the motor to the normal
RUN position, move the tilt lever
away from you until it stops. Tilt the
motor up slightly, then lower the
motor slowly until it locks with the
transom angle adjusting rod. During
cruising, the motor must always be in
the normal run position.
Reverse Operation:
The tilt lever must be in the RUN
position with the motor locked to
the transom angle adjusting rod. If
the motor is operated in reverse
with the tilt lever in the TILT
position and/or the motor is in one
of the three tilt angle positions, the
motor is free to tilt up.
