6. Check to see if the oil pressure
indicator turns ON.
If it does not turn on, stop the
engine and perform the following
inspections.
1)Check the oil level (see page 63).
2)If the oil level is normal and the
oil pressure indicator does not
turn ON, consult with an
authorized TOHATSU outboard
motor dealer.
7. Warm up the engine as follows:
Above 5°C (41°F)
– run the engine
for at least 3 minutes.
Below 5°C (41°F)
– run the engine
for at least 5 minutes at approx.
2,000 min
-1
(rpm).
Failure to completely warm up the
engine will result in poor engine
performance.
• If the engine is not properly
warmed-up before raising the
engine speed, the warning buzzer
and overheat indicator may
activate and the engine speed will
be automatically reduced.
• The cooling system may freeze in
areas where the temperature
reaches 0°C (32°F) or below.
Cruising at high speed without
warming the engine up may
cause engine damage.
Before leaving the dock, check the
operation of the emergency stop
switch.
Starting the Engine
The exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide.
Do not start the engine in a poor
ventilation area such as in a boat
house.
To prevent damage to the outboard
from overheating, never run the
engine with the propeller out of
water.
