OPERATION POWER (To fix)

MANUAL (To release)

Be sure the valve is closed before operating the outboard motor. If the valve is not closed, the outboard motor will tilt up when operated in reverse. Check that nobody is under the outboard motor before opening the manual relief valve. If the manual relief valve is loosened (turned counterclockwise) when the outboard motor is tilted up, the outboard motor will suddenly tilt down.

MANUAL RELIEF VALVE

The outboard motor can also be tilted manually after opening the manual relief valve. This feature enables the outboard motor to be tilted up or down when no battery is connected. For manual tilting, use a screwdriver to turn the valve counterclockwise 1 or 2 turns. Close the valve firmly after positioning the engine.

MULTIPLE OUTBOARD MOTORS On boats equipped with more than one outboard motor, all motors normally operate at the same time. If one or more motor(s) is stopped while the other(s) is running, put the stopped motor in “N” (neutral) and tilt it up so its propeller is above the water's surface. If the propeller of the stopped motor is left in the water, it may turn as the boat moves through the water, causing a reverse flow of water from the exhaust side. This reverse flow will happen if the stopped engine's propeller is in the water, its gearshift is in “R” (reverse), and the boat is moving forward. Reverse flow can cause an engine malfunction.
