ADJUSTMENT
Notes
Change trim tab angle a little for each
test run and repeat the process several
times until the best position is found.
The trim tab also acts as an anode to
prevent electrolytic corrosion. Therefore
do not paint or grease this part.
After adjustment securely tighten the
trim tab fixing bolt.
Check for looseness of the bolt and the
trim tab at regular intervals.
Due to corrosion, the trim tab will wear
down over time.
Inappropriate adjustment of trim tab
could cause steering difficulty. After
installing or readjusting trim tab, check
if steering load is even.
Tighten trim tab bolt to specified torque.

motor could lead to severe personal
injury.

up and locked, or accidental fall of out-
