Shock
Absorption
System and Safety
What
is
most important?
• Shock absorption system must always be ready to absorb
some
blows to the lower parts of the outboard.
~~----~-
• Outboard must not trim
in
too far suddenly.
What can happen?
Without shock protection, a blow like this could cause serious damage to the outboard and injury to boat
occupants from the outboard or its parts entering the boat. Transom
could break away and outboard
may
be lost overboard.
Boat may
SINK.
At high speeds, sudden trimming -
in
too far may dive boat under
water or spin it around.
How can possible
conditions
be minimized?
• Read, understand, and
follow
manufacturer's
instructions.
• Follow warnings
marked"
&"
closely.
•
Test your work whenever
possible.
• If oil leaks
are seen in service
areas, determine source.
Keep reservoir
filled.
• If
outboard is hydraulic tilt!
trim model, always return rod
to
hole position determined
by boat operator and make
sure
angle adjusting rod
retain is
in
locked position.
--
Make sure manual
release valve
is
closed tight. Torque
to
45 to 55 in. Ibs.
(5.1
to 6.2 N·m).
If left
open, outboard
has no shock
protection.
Trimming
"in" too far can
happen when
angle adjusting
rod is not
in
the
right
hole or
is not
in
any hole (lost).
