OPERATION DANGER
The power tilt is often used to tilt the engine for clearance when beaching, mooring, or launching.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain damage or death.
DANGER Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to result in serious injury or death. Assure the engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can be sharp and the propeller can continue to turn even after the engine is off. Always shut off the engine when near people in the water.

Trim Gauge The trim gauge indicates the bow position that is achieved by the trim angle of your motor.
POWER TRIM AND TILT
WARNING Any malfunction of the power trim and tilt unit could result in loss of shock absorber protection if an underwater obstruction is hit. Malfunction can also result in loss of reverse thrust capability. The trim system features a trim range of 21°: You can pivot the engine to any position within this range while underway and at any boat speed. The power trim is normally used to improve acceleration, speed, and ride quality and to adjust for changing water conditions. The tilt system will tilt your engine an additional 54°: While positioned within the tilt range, DO NOT run the engine faster than idle speed. If idling a tilted engine, keep its water intakes submerged at all times.
