1. SAFETY
• 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
For your safety and the safety of
others, pay special attention to these
precautions.
Operator Responsibility

• Gasoline is harmful or fatal if
swallowed. Keep the
of reach of children.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable
and is explosive unde
conditions. Refuel in a
we
ll-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
tank cap is closed properly and
securely.
fuel tank
r certain
out
• 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.
• Before operating the outboard
motor, familiarize yourself with all
laws and regulations relating to
boating and the use of outboard
motors.
• Do not attempt to modify the
outboard motor.
• Always wear a life-jacket when on
board.
SAFETY
• 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.
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 colorles
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,
taminated with a dangerous amount
of exhaust gas. T o keep ex haust gas
from building up, provide adequate
ventilation.

Power Trim
Press the power trim/tilt switch on the
remote control lever to adjust the
outboard motor trim angle of – 4° to
16° to maintain proper boat trim. The
power trim/tilt switch can be operated
while the boat is under way or while
stopped.
By using the power trim/tilt switch
the operator can change the trim
angle of the outboard motor to
achieve maximum boat acceleration,
speed, stability and maintain
optimum fuel consumption.
The outboard motor trim angle of
– 4° to 16° is the angle when the
outboard motor is installed on the
boat at 12°.
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.

Power Tilt Switch
(outboard motor pan)
The power tilt switch located on the

Manual Relief Valve
If the power trim/tilt switch will not
tilt the outboard
motor, the outboard
motor can be manually tilted up or
down by opening the manual relief
valve. To tilt the outboard motor
manually , turn the manual relief valve
under the left stern bracket no more
than 1 or 2 turns counterclockwise
using a screwdriver.
After tilting the outboard motor, turn
e
the manual relief valve cloc

securely.
Check that no person is under the
outboard motor before carrying out
this position because
if the manual
relief valve is loosened (turned
counterclockwise) when the outboard
motor is tilted up, the outboard motor
will suddenly tilt down.
The manual relief valve must be
d
tightene
securely before operating
the outboard motor or the outboard
motor could tilt up when operating in
