indicator turns ON.
If it does not turn on, stop the engine
and perform the following
inspections.
1) Check the oil level (see page 42).
2) If the oil level is normal and the
oil pressure indicator light does
not turn ON, consult with an
authorized TOHATSU outboard
motor dealer.
6. Warm up the engine as follows:
Above 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for at least 3 minutes.

2,000 min

Failure to completely warm up the
engine will result in poor engine
performance.
STARTING THE ENGINE

warmed-up before raising the
engine speed, the warning buzzer
and overheat indicator may
activate and the engine speed will
be automatically reduced.
• The cooling system may freeze in
areas where the temperature
reaches 0°C (32°F) or below.
Cruising at high speed without
warming the engine up may
cause engine damage.
Before leaving the dock, check the
operation of the emergency stop
switch.
