GENERAL INFORMATION
TRIM ROD
The position of the trim rod determines the angle of the outboard motor in relation to the transom .
TILT LOCK MECHANISM
The tilt support lock keeps the outboard motor in the tilted up position. If the outboard engine needs to be
tilted up out of the water or to get the propeller higher than the bottom of the boat, push down on the tiller
handle while lifting up in the rear carrying handle. Once the engine is all the way up, the tilt lock mechanism
will engage and lock the engine in the up position. To release the lock to lower the engine pull up on the
rear carrying handle to lift the engine up as far as it will go. While the engine is all the way up, lift up on the
lock lever to disengage it while lowering the engine.
WARNING: Do not use the tilt support bar when trailering the boat. The outboard motor could shake loose
from the tilt support and fall. If the motor cannot be trailered in the normal running position, use
an additional support device to secure it in the tilt position.
TOP COVER LOCK LEVER
To remove the engine top cover, remove the 1 lb. propane tank or rubber plug. Pull the lock levers upwards
from the bottom and unhook from the top cover. Then lift the cover. When installing the cover, check to be
sure it fits properly on the rubber seal. Then lock the cover by moving the levers downward.
CARRYING HANDLES
Carrying handles are provided on the front and rear of the outboard motor. The handles enable you to carry
the outboard motor easily with two hands.
