Components19EMU26090Main switchThe main switch controls the ignition system;its operation is described below.● “ ” (off)With the main switch in the “ ” (off) posi-tion, the electrical circuits are off, and the keycan be removed.● “ ” (on)With the main switch in the “ ” (on) posi-tion, the electrical circuits are on, and the keycannot be removed.● “ ” (start)With the main switch in the “ ” (start) po-sition, the starter motor turns to start the en-gine. When the key is released, it returnsautomatically to the “ ” (on) position.EMU26130Steering friction adjusterA friction device provides adjustable resis-tance to the steering mechanism, and can beset according to operator preference. An ad-justing screw or bolt is located on the clampbracket, on the right (starboard) side of thethrough tube end.To increase resistance, turn the adjusterclockwise.To decrease resistance, turn the adjustercounterclockwise.WARNINGEWM00040Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. Ifthere is too much resistance, it could bedifficult to steer, which could result in anaccident.EMU26143Power trim and tilt switch on remotecontrol or tiller handleThe power trim and tilt system adjusts theoutboard motor angle in relation to the tran-som. Pressing the switch “ ” (up) trims theoutboard motor up, and then tilts it up. Press-ing the switch “ ” (down) tilts the outboardmotor down and trims it down. When theswitch is released, the outboard motor willstop in its current position.For instructions on using the power trim andtilt switch, see pages 46 and 48.ZMU03245
