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 propel-
ler and lower case from damage due to colli-
sions with obstructions, and also to reduce
salt corrosion.
WARNING
EWM00222
Make sure that no one is near the outboard
motor when tilting the outboard motor up
or down. Otherwise, body parts could be
crushed between the outboard motor and
the clamp bracket.
WARNING
EWM02312
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When the out-
board motor will be tilted up for more than
a few minutes, tighten the air vent screw
and fuel tank cap and align the fuel cock
with the closed position. Otherwise, fuel
may leak.

low the procedure under “Stopping en-

running. Severe damage from overheat-
ing can result.
