Always try to arrange load so boatruns
onan evenkeel,
Transom (stern) angles may vary some-
what; however, range of adjustment is
suJficient
to accommodate
anglesfoundin
most boats.
GEARSHIFT
The motor is equipped with gear shift
control to provide operationof themotor
in Forward, Neutral, or Reverse by
means of gearshift lever (Figure 10)lo-
cated on slarboard side of motor. Move
the lever as far as possibletowardfront
for "Forward" motion of boat -- toward
rear as far as possible for "Reverse"
motion of boat. The
intermediateposition
is "Neutral" or outof gear.
When motor is not running, the internal
gear shilt mechanism may be in such a
position that gear shift lever cannot be
moved from "Neutral" into "Forwardt' or
"Reverse" DO NOT FORCE. This
may be remedied by pulling on thestarter
cord with throttle control at SLOW to
turn gears slightly until the gear shift
lever will move to desired position. Ex-
treure care should be taken to prqvent
bendingor striking the lever.
TILT-UP
LOCK
The manual tilt-up Iock (item 6, Figure
12) hastwopositions,long slot for LOCK
andshort slot for RELEASE.
In RELEASE position, the motor can be
tilted as desired for beaching and other
purposes. In LOCK position, the motor
is held in a semi-lockedverticalposition.
The lock will maintain the motor in a
vertical position while you are pulling the
starter r6pg. In reverse gear, the Iock
will preventthe reverse thrust ofthepro-
peller from pulling the lower unit of the
motor away from the boat. In forward
gear, the lock will release upon sudden
contact with underwater objects, permit-
ting the lower unit to tilt up. Thebumper
under the tilt-up lock will preventdamage
to the transom. Whenthe lower unit has
passed over the obstruction, the motor
will return to a vertical position, Iocking
automatically. The tilt-up lock also pre-
vents the motor from tilting up whenthe
boat is decelerating.

PROCEDURE - Pour into the fuel tank
approximately one-haU the amount of
gasoline required. AII fuel should be

NSTRUCTIONS
Proper lubricatlon is an important factor
in the performance and life of your out-
board brotor. The following instructions
are therefore very important and should
be followed carefully.
TYPE OF GASOLINE- Usea goodgrade
of regular gasoline such as used ln auto-
mobiles. High octane or highly leaded
fuel gives no advantage.
TYPE OF OIL - We recommend a good
grade outboard motor oil, or a regular
SAE 30 grade automotive engine oil.
Avoid use of low-priced thlrd grade (ML)
oils.
MD(TURE - Mix one quart of oil per full
tank of gasoline, or mix 1/2 pint of oil
per gallon of gasoline for smaller quan-
tities.
GAUTION
BEFORE STARTING MOTOR PLACE YILT-UP LOCK IN
NLOCKN POSITION AND KEEP IT THERE WHENEVER
MOTOR RUNS.
To lock your motor in a tilted position
for moving in shallow water, the new Tilt
Lock is used. TiIt motor until rub-
ber bumper just touches boat transom.
Then push in Tilt Lock button (item 9,
Figure 12). To release motor from tilt,
pull Tilt Lock button out.
Trailing Lock - For trailing your motor
attachedto a boat, a trailing lock (item 8,
Figure 12) is provided. To trail motor,
tilt motor until rubber bumper under
front of swivel bracket just touchesboat
transom. Secureby tightening screw and
handle of Trailing Lock.
