GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1

ENOM00009-1

As the operator/driver of a boat, you are responsible for the safety of those aboard and those in other boat around yours, and for following local boating regulations. You should be thoroughly knowledgeable on how to correctly operate the boat, outboard motor, and accessories. To learn about the correct operation and maintenance of the outboard motor, please read through this manual carefully.

It is very difficult for a person in the water to take evasive action should he or she see a power boat heading in his/her direction, even at a slow speed.

Therefore, when your boat is in the immediate vicinity of people in the water, the outboard motor must be shifted to neutral and shut off.

ENOW00005-0

WARNING

SERIOUS INJURY IS LIKELY IF A PERSON IN THE WATER MAKES CONTACT WITH A MOVING BOAT, GEAR HOUSING, PROPELLER, OR ANY SOLID DEVICE RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO A BOAT OR GEAR HOUSING.

ENOM00247-1

STOP SWITCH LANYARD

The engine can be stopped by pulling out the stop switch lock from the stop switch. The stop switch lanyard is the coiled red cord with the stop switch lock on one end and a metal clip on the other end. With attaching the stop switch lanyard to the operator's body part or operator's personal flotation device (PFD), the engine will stop when the stop switch lanyard is being stretched and pulled out the lock from the switch if the operator accidentally falls overboard or leaves from operator's position. This function may prevent losing control of the boat and minimize or prevent risk of collision with other boats, people and other objects. It is operator's responsibility to use the stop switch lanyard.

ENOW00004-1

WARNING

Accidental activation of the Stop Switch (such as the tether being pulled out in heavy seas) could cause passengers to lose their balance and even fall overboard, or it could result in loss of power in heavy seas, strong currents, or high winds. Loss of control while mooring is another potential hazard.

To minimize accidental activation of the Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20 inch.) stop switch lan-yard is coiled and can extended to a full 1300 mm (51 inch.).

ENOM00800-A

PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE

As the operator/driver and passenger of a boat, you are responsible to wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) while on the boat.

ENOM00010-1

SERVICING, REPLACEMENT PARTS & LUBRICANTS

We recommend that only an authorized service shop perform service or maintenance on your outboard motor. Be sure to use genuine parts, genuine lubricants, or recommended lubricants. Be aware that the installation and use of parts not approved by Tohatsu Corporation will void warranty and may lead to unsafe operating conditions.

1

ENOM00011-1

MAINTENANCE

As the owner of the outboard motor, you should be acquainted with correct maintenance procedures following by maintenance section of this manual (See page 55). It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety inspections, proper lubrication and to follow all maintenance instructions for safe operation. You should take the engine to an authorized dealer or service shop for periodic inspection at the prescribed intervals. Correct periodic maintenance and proper care of outboard motor will reduce the chance of problems, limit overall operating expenses and contribute to longevity of your outboard motor.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can be fatal if inhaled for any length of time.

Never start or operate the engine indoors or in any space which is not well ventilated.

Gasoline

Gasoline and its vapors are very flammable and can be explosive. Use extreme care when handling gasoline. You should be thoroughly knowledgeable on how to correctly handle gasoline by reading this manual.

The fuel system components on your TOHATSU outboard motor will withstand up to 10% ethyl alcohol (hereinafter referred to as the "ethanol") content in the gasoline. If the gasoline in your area contains ethanol, be aware of certain adverse effects that can occur. Increasing the percentage of ethanol in the fuel can also worsen these adverse effects. Some of these adverse effects are caused by ethanol absorbing moisture in the air, which leads to separation of the water/ethanol from the gasoline in the fuel tank.

Use of gasoline containing ethanol may accelerate:

● Corrosion of metal parts
● Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts
- Fuel permeation through rubber fuel lines
● Starting and operating difficulties

If the use of gasoline containing ethanol cannot be avoided or presence of ethanol is suspected in the gasoline, it is recommended to use a filter to separate

water, and frequently check the fuel system for leaks, mechanical parts for corrosion and abnormal wear.

In case any of such abnormality is found, discontinue the use of such gasoline and contact our dealer immediately.

If the outboard motor will only be used infrequently, please see the remarks on fuel deterioration in the STORAGE chapter (P 74) for additional information.

ENOW00975-0

CAUTION

When operating an outboard motor with gasoline containing ethanol, storing gasoline in the fuel tank for long periods should be avoided. Storing gasoline for long periods creates unique problems. In cars, ethanol blended fuels are normally consumed before they can absorb enough moisture to cause problems, but boats often sit idle long enough for separation phase to take place. In addition, internal corrosion may take place during storage if ethanol washes away the oil films protecting internal components.

ENOW00018-1

WARNING

Fuel leakage can cause fire or explosion, potentially leading to severe injury or loss of life. Every part of fuel system should be inspected periodically. Inspect for fuel leak, hardness or any alteration of rubber, expansion and/or corrosion of metals especially after long term storage. In case any indication of fuel leakage or degradation in fuel system is found, replace the part immediately before using the outboard motor.

ENOM00043-B

2. Fuel filling

ENOW00976-0

WARNING

High speed ESG (Electronic Safety Governor)

High speed ESG is a device to prevent over revolution of the engine. If the load to the engine is reduced for some reason, it runs at a higher speed than the usual. In such the case, the buzzer sounds and the ESG is activated not to ignite the spark plug. Therefore the engine speed varies and is controlled under 6300 mih(rpm).

Low speed ESG

Low speed ESG is a device to prevent the engine from getting damage. If the engine has problems cooling water, oil pressure, and sensors, the low speed ESG is activated not to ignite the spark plug, and disable fueling. Therefore the engine speed varies and is controlled under 2800 min ^1 (rpm).

ENOM00126-0

Remedy

1. Reduce the speed to less than half open throttle, and move to safe place quickly, and stop the engine.

Check the propeller for bent or damage on blades.

Consult an authorized dealer if engine shows the same result even after replacing propeller with a new one.

1. Move to safe place quickly, and stop the engine until it cools down.

Check the engine oil level, and add engine oil if necessary.
