(To release)

After tilting up/down manually, close the manual relief valve to lock the outboard motor in the position.

Check that no person is under the outboard motor before carrying out this operation because if the manual relief valve is loosened (turned counterclockwise) when the outboard motor is tilted up, the outboard motor will suddenly tilt down.

When power trim/tilt system does not operate because of dead battery or faulty power trim/tilt motor, the outboard motor can be manually tilted up or down by operating the manual relief valve.

To tilt the outboard motor manually, turn the manual relief valve under the stern bracket 1 or 2 turns counterclockwise using a screwdriver.

The manual relief valve must be tightened securely before operating the outboard motor or the outboard motor could tilt when operating in reverse.
