TOHATSU TLDI 40 Service Manual page 137

• When unable to tilt up due to lack of oil:
When the oil reservoir is empty and powered tilting up is not possible, turn the manual valve a few
turns counter- clockwise; then tilt the engine up manually and set the tile stopper.
When replenishing oil, fill until oil is even with the bottom of the oil plug hole. Added the oil
gradually by lightly rotating the PT&T in the tilt up direction. Close the manual valve to prevent air
bubbles from contaminating the oil.
Once oil has been replenished, remove the tilt stopper, bleed out the air, and check oil level again.
Tilt down again, repeat their air bleeding procedure and check oil level again.
• The PT&T should normally contain 550 ml (18.7 fluid ounces) of oil.
Position vertically or
tilted slightly backwards.
