Maintenance - TOHATSU BFT 150D Owner's Manual

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
are important to keep the outboard
motor in the best operating condition.
Service and inspect according to the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
WARNING
Shut off the engine before
performing any maintenance. If
the engine must be run, make
sure the area is well ventilated.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed or confined area.
Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas; exposure
can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death.
Be sure to reinstall the engine
cover, if it was removed, before
starting the engine. Lock the
engine cover latch securely (see
page 41).
• If the engine must be run, make
sure there is water at least 100
mm (4 in) above the anti
ventilation plate, otherwise the
water pump may not receive
sufficient cooling water, and the
engine will overheat.
• Use only TOHATSU Genuine
parts or their equivalents for
maintenance or repair. The use of
replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality may
damage the outboard motor.
