POWER TRIM AND TILT OPERATION OPERATION The power trim and tilt (PTT) system is operated by a “rocker” type switch (protected by a rubber thumb pad) on top of the remote control box handle. When the switch is depressed, power is delivered to the electric motor via the relay. The relay with the blue wire connected to the pump is for trim/tilt “up”.

POWER TRIM AND TILT OPERATION Shock Absorber Circuit Shock valve Should the lower unit strike an underwater object while in motion, the piston will rise abruptly, creating a sudden high impact pressure in the upper cylinder chamber. The shock valve will then open, allowing oil to flow into the area between the tilt ram piston and the free piston, thereby dampening (absorbing) the impact.
POWER TRIM AND TILT OPERATION Manual Release Circuit (Manual Valve) Turn the manual valve a maximum of three full counterclockwise turns. When the manual valve is loosened, oil will flow unimpeded (without resistance) through the internal pump tubes, thereby facilitating manual tilting or lowering of the outboard. To hold the engine in a selected position, the manual valve must be closed again.
POWER TRIM AND TILT OPERATION Thermal Valve The PTT system incorporates a thermal valve for protection of the internal components if excessive downward force is exerted on the lower unit with the motor in a tilted position or, in the case of an impact in reverse gear, the stern clamp/swivel brackets and the transom.
