INSTALLING MOTOR ON BOAT
Installation is easy if done correctly. With motor on dock, get in position in_ rear
of boat. (Have someone steady the boat.) Grasp motor at front and rear and swm g 1t
onto the transom. Center motor before tightening clamp screws.
When installing the motor alone, place motor on the dock and board craft empty-
handed. Then, taking a firm grip, lift the motor onto the transom so that the clamp
screws can be quickly hand-tightened.
When mounting motor on the boat in shallow water, with no dock availabl_e, place
stern bracket in full tilted position before lifting motor onto transom, to avo1d drag-
ging propeller in sand or silt.

TILT FRICTION ADJUSTMENT
Proper tilt friction adjustment
has been made at the factory but
may loosen with use. The friction
mechanism permits easy tilting, yet
utilizes friction when returning to
down position. To increase friction,
tighten the friction nut EJ on the
starboard clamp bracket.
TRIM-LOK
During normal operation the
Trim-Lok II should be in "LOCK"
position. The "RELEASE" position
is used ONLY when tilting the mo-
tor, or operating in shallow or ob-
structed waters.
To tilt the motor, moveTrim-Lok
to "RELEASE" position, grasp the
tilt grip at rear of motor cover and
pull motor toward you.
STEERING FRICTION
ADJUSTMENT
The co-pilot provides a yielding
grip, yet holds your motor in po~i
tion when you let go of the steermg
handle for short intervals. Proper
adjustment is made at the factory.
Should the co-pilot steering become
too loose, adjustment can be made
by tightening screw 11 as illus-
trated.

starting and operation
STARTING
DO NOT OPERATE ENGINE WITH ENGINE COVER REMOVED
Connect fuel hose to plug-in connector a on motor and tank with primer bulb end
nearest tank. Squeeze fuel line primer bulb fJ several times until resistance is felt.
Check to see that gear shift lever EJ is in neutral position. ALWAYS START MOTOR
IN NEUTRAL. Advance speed control II to start position. Pull choke 11 all the
way out._ Pull starter handle II slowly until starter engages, then pull forcibly. Re-
peat until motor starts. When motor starts, push choke El in gradually until motor
is running smoothly.
Speed control must always be retarded to shift position on throttle handle con-
trol before moving gear shift lever. Do not force lever and do not shift to
forward or reverse when motor is not running.
STARTING A WARM MOTOR
Proceed as with a cold motor, except do not choke. If motor fails to fire after a
few pulls on the starter handle, then use the choke.
FLOODING OF MOTOR
Flooding normally occurs only when a warm motor is over-choked or cranked too
slowly or cranked with too little throttle. Generally speaking, you can assume that a
cold motor which has not fired is not flooded.
