The motor is not susposed to move, the engine is. With that said...
Have you checked the fluid level? ATF or oil will work fine here. Is the bypass open?

Look for serial # then post and we will have a look for manual.Probably fluid level or air in the system.Should have manual release valve,make sure it is tight on clockwise.If not,tighten and try tilt again.Check for leaks around system.
