Gauges And Battery; Installing The Various Gauges - TOHATSU TLDI 40 Service Manual

Remarks:
• Confirm that, when pushing the remote control lever fully down in the Forward and Reverse directions
(approx. 32°), the outboard engine gears engage at a certain point and that, when pushed completely down,
the throttle is at the fully opened position.
Return the remote control lever to Neutral position and confirm that this also moves the advancer arm on the
outboard engine to the fully closed position. Note that the throttle position sensor will malfunction unless the
advancer arm is snug against the fully closed stopper. If it is not, remove and adjust the cable joint position on
the engine side and reinstall.
• When attaching the throttle side cable to the advancer arm pin, be sure to remove the rod snap from the link
rod as shown in the figure.
o Connect both cable assembly B and the gauge lead
wire to cable assembly A.
Caution:
Never disconnect the cable assemblies while the
engine is in operation.

1) Installing the Various Gauges

Be sure to install the various gauges on a proper
dashboard in a location where they are protected from
spray from the water. The dashboard may be anywhere
from 2 to 11 mm (0.08 to 0.43 in) in thickness.
It will be necessary to install a separate fitting plate with
holes cut to gauge sizes if thickness exceeds 11 mm
(0.43 in).
Mounting angle
The recommended
installation angle for the
dashboard is in the 50° to
80° range.
