Manual Tilt System
Models without power trim are equipped with a tilt assist system that allows the operator to easily tilt and lock the
outboard at any tilt position from full down to full up.
This tilt system is designed to be adjusted when the outboard is idling in neutral or with the engine turned off.

WARNING
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its lock/run position. Failure to lock the outboard in its lock/
run position could result in the outboard tilting up out of the water during deceleration or while operating in
reverse, resulting in possible loss of boat control. Loss of boat control can result in serious injury, death, or boat
damage.
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving the tilt lock lever to the lock/run position.
