"RELEASE" Position (UP)
Use this position only when you tilt the motor
up.
V WARNING
When you operate the motor with the release
lever in the "Release" position, the tilt lock
will not work. As a result, forces such as from
propeller
thrust
"REVERSE" gear, rapid deceleration, and
striking an underwater object can cause the
motor to lift out of the water, resulting in per-
sonal injury.
When using the "Release" position, proceed
with caution and only at very low speed.
