Be sure the valve is closed before
operating the outboard motor. If the
valve is not closed, the outboard
motor will tilt up when operated in
reverse.

For manual tilting, use a screwdriver
to turn the valve counterclockwise 1
or 2 turns. Close the valve firmly
after positioning the outboard motor.

The outboard motor can be tilted
manually after opening the manual
relief valve. This feature enables the
outboard motor to be tilted or
lowered when no battery is connected.

The engine cover latch fastens the
engine cover to the outboard motor.

To remove the engine cover, pull the
engine cover latch to the unlocked
position, then lift the engine cover
straight up from the outboard motor.

To install the engine cover, place the
cover on the outboard motor, and
push down evenly.

The cover should be tight at the mid-
case point. If the cover is loose or
difficult to secure, an adjustment
may be necessary. Please see the
shop manual or your Honda dealer
for adjustment.
