Preparations Before Starting The Engine - TOHATSU 5 BS Owner's Handbook Manual

( I) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. PREPARATIONS BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE
Gasoline with 86 OCTANE (A.K.I.) or over is recom-
mended for easy starting and long life.
(1) Fuel
1) Check that there is sufficient fuel for the day's
operation. Carry additional fuel for use in an
emergency and check it before running. Running
out of fuel can cause both inconvenience and
serious injury.
2) The fuel should be prepared using genuine TO-
HATSU engine oil. (Fig. 11 The normal mixture is
50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil 150:~). For initial
break in of a new engine the mixture should be
20: 1 for the first ten hours operation.
3) If you are using commercial two stroke (2T) oil
use the ratio 2O:l for normal running and 15:l for
the initial 10 hours running.
4) Do not use poor grade, dirty or stale gasoline or
oil. This will cause poor starting, reduced power
and may damage your motor. Use good quality
fuel and lubricants at all times.
