5. Check to see if the oil pressure
indicator turns ON.
If it does not turn ON, stop the engine
and perform the following
inspections.
1)Check the oil level (see page 63).
2)If the oil level is normal and the oil
pressure indicator does not turn
ON, consult with an authorized
TOHATSU outboard motor dealer.
If using a panel-mount or top-mount
switch panel without indicators,
check the indicators displayed on an
NMEA2000-compatible device.
6. Warm up the engine as follows:
Above 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for at least 3 minutes.
Below 5°C (41°F) – run the engine
for at least 5 minutes at approx.
-1
2,000 min (rpm).
Failure to completely warm up the
engine will result in poor engine
performance.

warmed-up before raising the
engine speed, the warning buzzer
and overheat indicator may
activate and the engine speed will
be automatically reduced.
Before leaving the dock, check the
operation of the emergency stop
switch.
