Procedure

Manual Tilting via Manual Relief Valve

1. Check that nobody is under the outboard motor before opening the manual relief valve. WARNING: If the manual relief valve is loosened (turned counterclockwise) when the outboard motor is tilted up, the outboard motor will suddenly tilt down. 2. Use a screwdriver to turn the manual relief valve counterclockwise 1 or 2 turns to open it. WARNING: 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. 3. Manually tilt the outboard motor up or down to the desired position. 4. Close the manual relief valve firmly after positioning the engine. WARNING: 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. Tools: Screwdriver
