TOHATSU MFS 3.5B Owner's Manual page 13

�������
!
If the length of security line being used
is long enough to allow the outboard
to disengage off the boat transom but
is too short to not allow the outboard
to submerge behind the boat and stop
running, the outboard could continue
running and propel itself back into the
boat with the propeller rotating under
power. This exposes the occupants to
serious injury or death.
�������
!
Mounting the outboard motor
without following this manual can
lead to unsafe conditions such as
poor maneuverability, lack of control
or fire.
Loose clamp screws and/or
mounting bolts can lead to release
off or displacement of the outboard
motor, possibly resulting in lost of
control and / or serious personal
injury. Be sure that fasteners are
tightened to the specified torque
(30 Nm (3.0kgf)13ft·lb). Check
fasteners for tightness from time to
time.
Be sure to use outboard mounting
fasteners included in outboard
motor package or their equivalents
in terms of size, material, quality
and strength.
Tighten fasteners to the specified
torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf)13ft·lb). Test
cruise to check if fasteners are
tightened securely.
Outboard motor mounting must
be performed by trained service
person(s) using lift or hoist with
sufficient capacity.
�������
!
It is recommended to install upper
mounting bolts with bolt head at inside
surface of transom. Bolts with threaded
end at inside surface of transom can
cause personal injury.
Notes
1. Apply sealing agent such as silicone
sealed between bolts and transom
board holes before tightening bolts.
2. Be sure to tighten mounting bolt
nuts to specified torque.
