Inspecting Power Trim And Tilt System; Inspecting Air Rail Pressure - TOHATSU TLDI 40 Service Manual

8. Inspecting Power Trim and Tilt System

Checking Oil Level
Note that the oil level is checked by first tilting up the
outboard engine (see figure), so that the reserve tank is
in a perpendicular position. To check level, turn the oil
plug counterclockwise to remove it; then confirm that oil
level is even with the bottom of the oil plug hole.
When replenishing oil, add until oil begins to overflow
from the oil plug hole.
Caution:
In order to avoid damage and accidental injury that
can occur when the tilted up (for storage and
inspections etc.) outboard engine accidentally tilts
back down, be use to insert the tilt stopper when
tilted up.
Oil Type
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF)
Note that the presence of air in the oil can cause the
engine to not tilt up and down properly.
If this occurs, bleed out the air using the following
procedure.
• With the outboard engine installed on the boat,
turn the manual valve to the MANUAL position
(counter clockwise) and move the engine the full
tilt up and down stroke 5 or 6 times; then turn the
manual valve back to the POWER position
(clockwise).
