WARNING
EWM01930
●
Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt support lever
is locked. Severe injury could occur if
the outboard motor accidentally falls.
●
Body parts can be crushed between the
motor and the clamp bracket when the
motor is trimmed or tilted.
●
Be sure no one is near the outboard
motor before performing this check.
1. Check the power trim and tilt unit for any
sign of oil leaks.
2. Operate each of the power trim and tilt
switches on the remote control and en-
gine bottom cowling to check that all
switches work.
3. Tilt the outboard motor up and check
that the tilt rod and trim rods are extend-
ed completely.
4. Use the tilt support lever to lock the mo-
tor in the up position. Operate the tilt
down switch briefly so the motor is sup-
ported by the tilt support lever.
5. Check that the tilt rod and trim rods are
free of corrosion or other flaws.
6. Activate the tilt-down switch until the trim
rods have retracted completely into the
cylinders.
7. Activate the trim-up switch until the tilt
rod is fully extended. Unlock the tilt sup-
port lever.
8. Tilt the outboard motor down. Check
that the tilt rod and trim rods operate
smoothly.
