SAFETY INFORMATION

For your safety and the safety of others, pay special attention to these precautions.

Operator Responsibility

- TOHATSU outboard motor is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand the Owner's Manual before operating the outboard motor. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

Shift to the neutral position and then shift to the reverse position at low engine speed. Do not shift to the reverse position suddenly at high engine speed.

• Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Keep the fuel tank out of reach of children.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling make sure that the fuel filler cap is closed properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill any fuel while refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled make sure that the area is dry before starting the engine.

• Know how to stop the engine quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all controls.
• Do not exceed the boat manufacturer's power recommendation, and be sure that the outboard motor is properly mounted.
• Never permit anyone to operate the outboard motor without proper instruction.
• Stop the engine immediately if anyone falls overboard.
• Do not run the engine while the boat is near anyone in the water.
• Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard securely to the operator.
• Before operating the outboard motor, familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations relating to boating and the use of outboard motors.

SAFETY

• Do not attempt to modify the outboard motor.
  • Always wear a life-jacket when on board.
• Do not operate the outboard motor without the engine cover. Exposed moving parts can cause injury.
• Do not remove any guards, labels, shields, covers or safety devices; they are installed for your safety.
• Stop the engine immediately if anyone falls overboard.
• Do not run the engine while the boat is near anyone in the water.
• Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard securely to the operator.

Burn Hazards

The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping. Contact with hot engine components can cause burns and may ignite some materials.

• Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.
• Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or transporting.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

- If you run the engine in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed, the air can become contaminated with a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide adequate ventilation.

Operating Hour Notification System

This outboard motor engine counts the number of operating hours since the last periodic maintenance. When the next periodic maintenance is due, the engine notifies the NMEA2000 network, and a maintenance indication is displayed on an NMEA2000-compatible device.

After periodic maintenance is performed, reset the hour counter by:

1. Stopping the engine.

2. Setting the gearshift at F or R.

3. Turning the engine switch ON. The buzzer will sound once.

4. Putting in and pull out the emergency stop switch clip 5 times within 20 seconds.

The buzzer will sound once when the hour counter is reset.

Periodic maintenance is required when either the operating hours or the time since last maintenance reaches the prescribed limit. Therefore, periodic maintenance may be required based on the number of months since the last maintenance before the alert based on engine operating hours displays (see Maintenance Schedule on page 88).

Reset the hour counter whenever maintenance is performed, whether based on the time interval or the number of operating hours.

CORRECT GIVES MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

Install the outboard motor at the best trim angle for stable cruising and maximum power. Trim angle too large: Incorrect causes boat to “squat.”

Trim angle too small: Incorrect causes boat to “plow.”

The trim angle differs according to the combination of the boat, outboard motor, and propeller, and the operating conditions.

Adjust the outboard motor so that it is perpendicular to the water surface (i.e. axis of the propeller is parallel with the water surface).

Battery Connections

Use a battery which has CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPERES) 799 at -18^ (0°F) and a reserve capacity 229 minutes (12V-110Ah/20HR) or more specifications.

The battery is an optional part (i.e. part to be purchased separately from the outboard motor).

WARNING

Batteries produce explosive gases: If ignited, an explosion can cause serious injury or blindness. Provide adequate ventilation when charging.

• CHEMICAL HAZARD: Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Contact with eyes or skin, even through clothing, may cause severe burns. Wear a face shield and protective clothing.
• Keep flames and sparks away, and do not smoke in the area. ANTIDOTE: If electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush thoroughly with warm water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician immediately.

• POISON: Electrolyte is poison. ANTIDOTE:

— External: Flush thoroughly with water.

— Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil, and call a physician immediately.

- KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

To protect the battery from mechanical damage and to prevent the battery from falling or tipping over, the battery must be:

• Installed in the correct size corrosion-resistant battery box.
  • Properly secured in the boat.
  • Secured in a location free from direct sunlight and water spray.
• Secured away from the fuel tank to avoid potential sparks near the fuel tank.

INSTALLATION

(-) TERMINAL (+) TERMINAL RED Power Harness Fuse : 40 A (with a spare fuse) BLACK

Connect the battery cables:

1. Connect the cable with the red terminal cover to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
2. Connect the cable with the black terminal cover to the negative (−) terminal of the battery.

NOTE:

When more than one outboard motor is mounted on a boat, connect a battery to each respective outboard motors.

NOTICE

• Be sure to connect the (+) side battery cable first. When disconnecting the cables, disconnect the (−) side first then the (+) side.

• Unless the cables are properly connected to the terminals, the starter motor may fail to operate normally.

• Be careful to avoid connecting the battery in reverse polarity, as this will damage the battery-charging system in the outboard motor.

• Do not disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running. Disconnecting the cables while the engine is running, will damage the outboard motor's electrical system.
• Do not place the fuel tank near the battery.

INSTALLATION

- Battery cable extension: Extending the original battery cable will cause the battery voltage to drop due to the increased length of the cable and number of connections. This voltage drop may cause the buzzer to sound momentarily when engaging the starter motor and may prevent the outboard from starting. If the outboard starts and the buzzer sounds momentarily, there may be barely sufficient voltage reaching the engine.

Remote Control Installation (optional equipment)

NOTICE

Improperly installed steering system, remote control box, and remote control cable, or installing those of the different types could cause unpredictable accident. Consult an authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for proper installation.

The control box is available in types as shown.

Select the most suitable control box for your outboard motor considering the installation position, operationability, etc. of the control box.

Set the cable along the predetermined route and be sure that it is long enough to the route.

Connect the cable to the engine and be sure it is not kinked, bent sharp, pulled taut, or interfered while steering.

NOTICE

Do not bend the remote control cable as sharp as its route diameter is 300 mm (11.8 in) or less, or it affects the service life of the cable and the remote control lever operation.

INSTALLATION

Propeller Selection

BFT200D/BFT225D:

Select the adequate propeller so that the engine speed at full throttle is 5,000 min^-1 (rpm) to 6,000 min^-1 (rpm) when the boat is loaded. BFT250D:

Select the adequate propeller so that the engine speed at full throttle is 5,300 min^-1 (rpm) to 6,300 min^-1 (rpm) when the boat is loaded.

Engine speed varies according to the propeller size and the boat condition. Use of the outboard motor outside the full throttle speed range will adversely affect the engine and cause serious problem. Use of the correct propeller assures powerful acceleration, top speed, excellency in terms of economy and cruising comfort, and it assures longer engine life as well.

Consult with your authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for proper propeller selection.

Fuel Line Connection

Connect the fuel line to the tank and the outboard motor. Follow the boat manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode, causing serious injury or death.

• Be careful not to spill fuel. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.

6. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

BFT200D/BFT225D/BFT250D is 4-stroke, water cooled outboard motor which uses unleaded regular gasoline for fuel. It also requires the engine oil. Check the following before operating the outboard motor.

1. Position the outboard motor vertically, and remove the engine cover (see page 45).
2. Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe with a clean rag.
3. Reinsert the dipstick all the way in, then pull it out and read the level. If near or below the lower level mark, remove the oil filler cap and fill to the upper level mark with the recommended oil. Tighten the oil filler cap securely. Do not overtighten.

OIL FILLER CAP

Technical line drawing of an engine component with no visible text or symbols

When the engine oil is contaminated or discolored, replace with the fresh engine oil (see page 90 for replacement interval and procedure).

1. Install the engine cover and lock it securely (see page 45).

NOTICE

Do not overfill the engine oil. Check the engine oil after refilling. Excessive engine oil as well as the insufficient oil could cause damage to the engine.

When you check the oil level with the dipstick, you might notice the engine oil appears milky or the oil level has increased. If you notice either condition, change the engine oil. See the following table for an explanation of these conditions.

Operating Method Result	Effect
Running the engine below 3,000 rpm for more than 30% of the time so the engine does not warm up.	• Water condenses in the engine and mixes with the oil, resulting in a milky appearance.	The engine oil deteriorates, becomes less efficient as a lubricant, and causes an engine malfunction.
Frequent starting and stopping without allowing the engine to warm up.	• Unburned fuel mixes with the oil, increasing the volume of oil.

Fuel

Check the fuel level and refill if necessary. Do not fill the fuel tank above the UPPER LIMIT.

Refer to the boat manufacturer's instructions.

Use unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 91 or higher (a Pump Octane Number of 86 or higher). Use of leaded gasoline may cause damage to the engine.

Never use gasoline that is stale, contaminated, or mixed with oil. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the fuel filler cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

GASOLINE CONTAINING ALCOHOL

If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by TOHATSU.

There are two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol.

Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol.

Do not use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) and that does not also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol.

NOTE:

• Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of gasoline that contains more alcohol than recommended is not covered under the warranty.
• Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar station, first determine if the gasoline contains alcohol, if it does, find out the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a particular gasoline. Switch to a gasoline that you know contains less than the recommended amount of alcohol.

Propeller and Cotter Pin Inspection

WARNING

The propeller blades are thin and sharp. Careless handling of the propeller can result in injury.

When checking the propeller:

• Remove the emergency stop switch clip to prevent an accidental start of the engine.
• Wear heavy gloves.

Propeller rotates rapidly while cruising. Before starting the engine, check the propeller blades for damage and deformation and replace if necessary.

Obtain a spare propeller for the event of an unpredictable accident while cruising. If no spare propeller is available, return to the pier at low speed and replace.

Consult an authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for propeller selection.

Keep the spare washer, castle nut and cotter pin with you on your boat.

COTTER PIN CASTLE NUT PROPELLER

Engine speed varies according to the propeller size and the boat condition. Use of the outboard motor outside the full throttle speed range will adversely affect the engine and cause a serious problem. Use of the correct propeller assures powerful acceleration, top speed, excellency in terms of economy and cruising comfort, and it assures longer engine life as well.

Consult with your authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for proper propeller selection.

8. OPERATION

Break-in Procedure

Break-in period: 10 hours

Break-in operation allows the mating surfaces of the moving parts to wear evenly and thus ensures proper performance and longer outboard motor life.

Break-in your new outboard motor as follows.

First 15 minutes:

Run the outboard motor at trolling speed. Use the minimum amount of throttle opening necessary to operate the boat at a safe trolling speed.

Next 45 minutes:

Run the outboard motor up to a maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 min ^-1 (rpm) or 10% to 30% throttle opening.

Next 60 minutes:

Run the outboard motor up to maximum of 4,000 to 5,000 min ^-1 (rpm) or 50% to 80% throttle opening. Short bursts of full throttle are acceptable but do not operate the outboard motor continuously at full throttle.

Next 8 hours:

Avoid continuous full throttle operation (100% throttle opening). Do not run the outboard motor at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time.

For boats that plane easily, bring the boat up on plane then reduce the throttle opening to the specified break-in settings called out above.

When power trim/tilt system does not operate because of dead battery or faulty power trim/tilt motor, the outboard motor can be manually tilted up or down by operating the manual relief valve.

Check that no person is under the outboard motor before carrying out this operation because if the manual relief valve is loosened (turned counterclockwise) when the outboard motor is tilted up, the outboard motor will suddenly tilt down.

To tilt the outboard motor manually, turn the manual relief valve under the stern bracket 1 or 2 turns counterclockwise using a screwdriver.

After tilting up/down manually, close the manual relief valve to lock the outboard motor in the position.

CAUTION

The manual relief valve must be tightened securely before operating the outboard motor or the outboard motor could tilt when operating in reverse.

OPERATION

Trim Tab Adjustment

Simple line drawing of a boat with exhaust lines and label 'LEFT' (no other text or symbols)

TIGHTENING BOLT RIGHT TRIM TAB

The trim tab is provided to adjust for "torque steer" which is a reaction of the propeller rotation or propeller torque. If during a high speed turn an unequal amount of effort is required to turn the boat right or left, adjust the trim tab so that an equal amount of effort is required.

Distribute the load evenly in the boat and run the boat in a straight course at full throttle. Slightly turn the steering wheel for both right and left turns to determine the amount of effort required.

If less effort is required to make left turns:

Loosen the trim tab tightening bolt and turn the rear end of the trim tab toward the left. Tighten the bolt securely.

If less effort is required to make right turns:

Loosen the trim tab tightening bolt and turn the rear end of the trim tab toward the right. Tighten the bolt securely.

Make small adjustments at a time and retest. Incorrect trim tab adjustment can cause adverse steering.

NOTICE

Painting or coating the anode will lead to rust and corrosion damage to the outboard motor.

ACG warning ON OFF ON OFF					alternating ON and OFF (at long intervals)
PGM-FI warning ON* OFF* OFF ON					alternating ON and OFF (at long intervals)
Water contamination	ON OFF	OFF OFF			alternating ON and OFF (at short intervals)

NOTE:

Some indicator and/or buzzer will be activated at the same time due to the occurrence of a malfunction.

*: Occasionally may blink due to the occurrence of a malfunction.

When the oil pressure warning system is activated:

1. Stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level (see page 47).
2. If the oil is up to the recommended level, restart the engine. If the oil pressure warning system stops after 30 seconds, the system is normal.

NOTE:

If the throttle was closed suddenly after cruising at full throttle, the engine speed may drop below the specified idle speed. This could cause the oil pressure warning system to activate momentarily.
3. If the oil pressure warning system stays activated after 30 seconds, return to the closest boat landing and contact your closest authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer.

COOLING WATER CHECK HOLE

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with an inset showing a pin inserted into a component (no text or symbols present)

When the overheat warning system is activated:

1. Return the gearshift lever or control lever to the N (neutral) position immediately. Check to see if water is flowing out of the cooling water check hole.
2. If water is flowing out of the cooling water check hole, continue idling for 30 seconds. If the overheat warning system stops after 30 seconds the system is normal.

NOTE:

If the engine is turned off after running at full throttle, the engine temperature may rise above normal. If the engine is restarted, shortly after being turned off, the overheat warning system could be activated momentarily.

OPERATION

WATER SEPARATOR

When the water separator buzzer sounds:

1. Check the water separator for water contamination. If water is accumulated, drain them (see page 98).

This outboard motor is equipped with an engine over-rev limiter which activates when the engine speed increases excessively. The over-rev limiter can be activated while cruising, tilting up the outboard motor, or when ventilation occurs during a sharp turn.

When the over-rev limiter is activated:

1. Reduce the throttle opening immediately and check the trim angle.
2. If the trim angle is correct but the over-rev limiter stays activated, stop the engine, check the condition of the outboard motor, check to see if the correct propeller is installed and check it for damage.
   Correct or service as necessary, by contacting your authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer.

ANODE (stern bracket) ANODE (each side)

The anode is a sacrificial material which helps to protect the outboard motor from corrosion.

NOTICE

Painting or coating the anode will lead to rust and corrosion damage to the outboard motor.

There are also 4 small sacrificial anodes in the water passages of the engine block.

Shallow Water Operation

NOTICE

Excessive trim/tilt angle during operation can cause the propeller to raise out of the water and cause propeller ventilation and engine over-revving. Excessive trim/tilt angle can also damage the water pump and overheat the engine.

When operating in shallow water, tilt the outboard motor up to prevent the propeller and gear case from hitting the bottom (see page 71). With the outboard motor tilted up, operate the outboard motor at low speed.

Monitor the cooling water check hole for water discharge. Be sure that the outboard motor is not tilted so high that the water intakes are out of the water.

OPERATION

Multiple Outboard Motors

On boats equipped with more than one outboard motor, all motors normally operate at the same time.

If one or more motor(s) is stopped while the other(s) is running, put the stopped motor in “N” (neutral) and tilt it up so its propeller is above the water’s surface.

If the propeller of the stopped motor is left in the water, it may turn as the boat moves through the water, causing a reverse flow of water from the exhaust side. This reverse flow will happen if the stopped engine's propeller is in the water, its gearshift is in "R" (reverse), and the boat is moving forward. Reverse flow can cause an engine malfunction.

1. Align the aligning mark as shown in the figure, when installing the suspension strap on the fuel filter with water separator.
2. Prime the engine using the priming bulb (see page 54). Check for fuel leaks. Repair any fuel leaks if necessary.

NOTE:

If the buzzer sounds, water or sediment accumulation is found to be caused by excessive water or sediment accumulated in the fuel filter, inspect the fuel tank. Clean the fuel tank if necessary.

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons is very important because under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide dose not react in the same way, but it is toxic.

Problems that May Affect Outboard Motor Emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have the outboard motor inspected and repaired by your authorized TOHATSU Dealer:

1. Hard starting or stalling after starting
2. Rough idle
3. Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration
4. Poor performance (driveability) and poor fuel economy
