GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
ENOM00009-1
SAFE OPERATION OF BOAT
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 out-
board 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 out-
board motor must be shifted to neutral and shut off.
ENOW00005-0
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
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 (Per-
sonal Flotation Device) while on the boat.

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 recom-
mended 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.
ENOM00011-1
MAINTENANCE
As the owner of the outboard motor, you should be acquainted with correct mainte-
nance procedures following by maintenance section of this manual (See page 59). 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.

Most boats are rated and certified for their
maximum allowable horsepower, as shown
on the boat’s certification plate. Do not
equip your boat with an outboard motor that
exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact your
dealer.
Do not operate the outboard motor until it
has been securely mounted on the boat in
accordance with the instructions below.
ENOW00009-2A
zMounting the outboard motor without
following this manual can lead to unsafe
conditions such as poor maneuverability,
lack of control or fire.
zLoose clamp screws and/or mounting
hardware can lead to the release or dis-
placement of the outboard motor, possi-
bly resulting in loss of control and/or
serious personal injury. Be sure that fas-
teners are tightened to the specif ied
torque. Check the fasteners for tightness
before operating your outboard.
zBe sure to use outboard mounting hard-
ware included in the outboard m otor
package or their equivalents in terms of
size, material, quality and strength.
Keep the outboard motor in a vertical
position when mounting.

1. Wash the engine exterior and flush
the cooling water system thoroughly
with fresh water. Drain the water
completely.
Wipe off any surface water with an
oily rag.
2. Remove the fuel hose from the out-
board motor.
3. Drain all fuel from the fuel hoses, fuel
pump and carburetor (See page 78),
and clean these parts.
Keep in mind that if gasoline is kept in
the carburetor for a long time, gum
and varnish will develop, causing the
float valve to stick, restricting the fuel
flow.
4. Remove the spark plugs and put a
teaspoon of engine oil or spray stor-
age oil into the combustion chamber
through the spark plug holes.
5. Turn the starter motor several turns
to lubricate inside the cylinder.

Adding a fuel stabilizer
When adding a fuel stabilizer additive
(commercially available), first fill the fuel
tank with fresh fuel. If the fuel tank is only
partially filled, air in the tank can cause
the fuel to deteriorate during storage.
1. Before adding fuel stabilizer additive,
drain the carburetor (See page 78).
2. Follow the instructions on the label
when adding the fuel stabilizer addi-
tive.
3. After adding the additive, let the out-
board motor run in the water for 10
minutes to make sure any old fuel in
the fuel system has been completely
replaced by the fuel with additive.
4. Turn the engine OFF
ENON00891-1
Note
If your motor is used occasionally, it is rec-
ommended to use a high quality fuel stabi-
lizer for the fuel and keep the fuel tank full
to reduce condensation and evaporation.
