Tiller Handle Models with Manual Tilt
BASIC TILTING OPERATION
The tilt feature allows the operator to tilt the outboard to a higher tilt angle for
operation in shallow water or tilt the outboard to the full up position.
When running the outboard, keep the tilt lever in the release position. This
allows the outboard to return to the running position if the outboard should ever
hit an underwater obstacle and be lifted up.
Moving the tilt lever to the tilt position will allow the outboard to lock into the
shallow water drive position or the full up position.

2. Shift the outboard to forward gear position.
3. Position the tilt lever to the tilt position.
4. Take hold of the top cowl grip, and tilt the outboard all the way up until it
locks in place.
