Tilting Up/Down - Yamaha F200C Owner's Manual

EMU01670

TILTING UP/DOWN

If the engine will be stopped for some time,
or if the boat is moored in shallows, the
engine should be tilted up to protect the pro-
peller and casing from damage by collision
with obstructions, and also to reduce salt
corrosion.
WARNING
@
G Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt
angle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and
engine bracket.
G
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Discon-
nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock
if the engine will be tilted for more than
a few minutes. Otherwise, fuel may
leak. (If the fuel connector is provided
on the motor.)
@
CAUTION:
@
G Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-
cedures under "STOPPING ENGINE".
Never tilt the motor while the engine is
running. Severe damage from over-
heating can result.
G To prevent the cooling water passages
from becoming frozen when the ambi-
ent temperature is 5°C or below, tilt up
the motor after it has been stopped 30
seconds or more.
