Instructions / Assembly

1. Push and hold the engine stop button until the engine comes to a

complete stop. (S)

NOTE:

If the outboard motor is equipped with an engine stop switch lanyard, the engine can also be stopped by

pulling the lanyard and removing the lock plate from the engine stop switch.

2. Tighten the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap (T) and set the fuel cock

lever or knob to the closed position. (U)

Trimming outboard motor

There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard

motor trim angle.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Remove the trim rod from the clamp bracket while slightly tilting the

outboard motor up. (V)

3. Reposition the rod in the desired hole. Make test runs with the trim set

to different angles to find the position that works best for your boat and

operating conditions.

Stop the engine before adjusting the trim angle.

Use care to avoid being pinched when removing or installing the rod.

Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs

of instability or control problems. Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.

Tilting Up and Down

If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard motor should

be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damaged by collision with obstructions, and also to

reduce corrosion.
