Problems That May Affect
Emissions
If you are aware of any of the
following symptoms, have your
engine inspected and repaired by your
servicing dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after
starting
• Rough idle
• Misfiring or backfiring under load
• Afterburning (backfiring)
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel
consumption
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your
TOHATSU engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with
EPA and California emission
regulations. We recommend the use
of TOHATSU Genuine parts
whenever you have maintenance
done. These original-design
replacement parts are manufactured
to the same standards as the original
parts, so you can be confident of their
performance. TOHATSU cannot deny
coverage under the emission warranty
solely for the use of non-TOHATSU
replacement parts or service
performed at a location other than an
authorized TOHATSU dealership; you
may use comparable EPA certified
parts, and have service performed at
non-TOHATSU locations. However,
the use of replacement parts that are
not of the original design and quality
may impair the effectiveness of your
emissions control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part
assumes the responsibility that the
part will not adversely affect
emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part
must certify that use of the part will
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
not result in a failure of the engine to
comply with emission regulations.
Maintenance
As the outboard engine owner, you
are responsible for completing all
required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. TOHATSU
recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on
your outboard engine, but TOHATSU
cannot deny warranty coverage solely
for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure that all scheduled
maintenance has been completed.
Follow the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE on p.91. Remember that
this schedule is based on the
assumption that your machine will be
used for its designed purpose.
Sustained high-load operation, or use
in unusual conditions, will require
more frequent service.
