Installing Battery; Wiring Diagram For Remote Control Unit And Gauges - TOHATSU TLDI 40 Service Manual

2) Installing Battery

This outboard engine requires battery power in order to
operate. Use a 12V 100AH (or 12V 120AH in colder
climates) battery.
q The battery should be secured in place in its own
box to protect it from water spray and prevent it
from tipping over with the movement of the boat.
w Connect the battery cable with the red connector to
the positive terminal and the cable with black
connector to the negative terminal. (Be sure to
remove the negative (black) connector first when
disconnecting the cables.)
The battery cable enclosed in red plastic tubing is
the one that connects to the positive terminal.
Caution:
• Be sure to carefully read the warning label on
the battery prior to use.
• Never disconnect battery cables while the
engine is in operation.
