Do not attempt to use the power tilt
switch to tilt the outboard motor
down while the tilt lock lever is in the
LOCK position. Damage to the
power tilt system may occur.
To lower the outboard motor, tilt up,
move the tilt lock lever to the FREE
position, and then lower the outboard
motor to the desired position.
If more clearance is needed to swing
the tilt lock lever into the LOCK
position, rock the outboard motor
forward slightly by pulling on the
engine cover grip.
Before tilting up, leave the outboard
motor in the running position for one
minute after stopping the engine to
drain the water inside the engine.
Use the tilt lever to raise and lower
the outboard motor as described on
p.
.
To raise the outboard motor out of
the water while the engine is stopped
and the boat is moored, or for
maximum clearance when beaching
or launching, use the power tilt
switch (LRT and XRT types) on the
engine pan to tilt the outboard motor
up as far as it will go. Move the tilt
lock lever to the LOCK position, and
then gently lower the outboard motor
until the lever contacts the stern
bracket.
