During the warm-up operation, confirm that cooling water is discharged from the check port and Idle port , ii CAUTION If cooling water is not discharged and engine operation is continued, the engine will overheat and damage occur. W Engine speed Recommended idle speed after wamwp operation Full-throttle engine speed Full-throttle engine speed -1 43 (4) Foward and Reverse I I A CAUTION I Do not shin into gear unless the engine is running, to avoid possible damage to the shifting mechanism. A CAUTION I I It may be dangerous to attempt shifting at high RPM. Be sure to slow down to trolling or idling rpm before shifting. 0 Remote control type (P type) While pressing the lock button on the remote control lever upward, swiftly move the lever to "FORWARD" (F) or "REVERSE" (R) to the point at which it engages (approx. Once the lever is moved further forward or backward, the engine will be accelerated. 44 A CAUTION 1. At the time of shifting from "FORWARD" to "REVERSE" or from "REVERSE" to "FORWARD, " stop once the shift lever at the "NEUTRAL" position and allow the engine to return to idling speed. Before moving the shitt lever to "REVERSE" position, make sure the reverse lock is engaged (in UP position). (EPO) I3 Do not increase the engine speed excessively while reversing, 0 Tiller handle type (F type) Turn the throttle grip toward "SLOW" and mwe ihe shift lever quickly to "FORWARD" (F) or "REVERS" (R) when the engine speed has reached the lowest rpm. 45 A CAUTION 1, Before moving the shift lever to "REVERSE" make sure the reverse lock is engaged (in UP position). A maximum limit of half-throttle is recommended when running in REVERSE for safe running. LOCK Note: The shift lever cannot be turned from "NEUTRAL" to "REVERSE" unless the throttle grip has been turned fully toward "SLOW'. 46 (5) Trim adjustment A CAUTION Incorrect adjustment will cause the boat to sway, reduce the engine performance and may cause unsafe steering conditions. I 1 n Power Trim &Tilt Type: The Power Trim & Tilt can be adjusted depending on the desired trim angle of the engine in r&non to the transom shape. It is imperative that the trim angle is adjusted correctly. A CAUTION The following precautions should be applied if you are boating in shallow water with the motor trimmed beyond the trim limit cut-out point: 1, Keep the engine speed at IDLING RPM only. This is because the swivel mechanism has no side support when the engine is trimmed beyond the trim limit. Make sure that the water intake port is submerged at all times, to prevent overheating of the engine or water pump impeller damage. 0 How to use the trim meter: When the trim angle is set as desired. and record it for future reference. I 60C - 70C - 90A 0 Proper Trim Angle is optimum when the boat is parallel to the water surface The trim angle while running. 0 Improper Trim Angle (bow rises too high) If the trim angle is excessive. the speed Furthermore, the bou may sway or the bottom may slam the water while cruising. decrease the trim angle by flicking the switch on the Remote Control lever to "DN". 60C - 70C - 90A 0 Improper Trim Angle (bow dips Into the water) If the trim angle is too small, the bow will dip into the water. In this case, the trim angle should be increased by flicking the switch on the Remote Control lever to "UP'. 60C - 70C -9OA 48 n With out Power Trim &Tilt Type: The trim angle is adjusted by setting hole. Proper trim angle The optimum trim angle is obtained when the boat is parallel to the water surface while in running. the thrust rod in the correct thrust rod l 0 Improper trim angle (bow rises too high ) If the trim angle is excessive, the bow will rise out of the water and the speed will decrease. In this case, decrease the trim angle by setting the thrust rod in a lower hole. 49 l Improper trim angle (bow dips into the water) If the trim angle is too small, the bow will dip into the will water. the trim angle should be increased by setting the thrust md in a higher hole. (6) Shallow Water Running (EFTO/EPTO) Shallow water running is available only on the EFTO and EPTO types. Set the outboard at higher position adjusting the same manner with the trim angle adjustment. A CAUTION 0 When in shallow water running, take care that the water strainer is submerged at all times and that water is continuously running out of the cooling water check port. If the water does not discharge from the cooling water check port, adjust the motor angle to tilt down a little.
