Trailering - TOHATSU MFS 25B Owner's Manual

TRAILERING

MGF, EFG type (Gas Assist type)
WARNING
!
Do not go under outboard motor tilted
up even if it is supported by support
bar, or accidental fall of outboard motor
could lead to severe personal injury.
WARNING
!
Close air vent screw of fuel tank and fuel cock
before carrying or storing outboard motor and fuel
tank, or fuel may leak, potentially catching fire.
WARNING
!
When taking outboad motor from
package or removing outboad motor from
the boat, never release the lock lever. If
the lock lever is released, it will very easy
for the clamp bracket to spring up to the
tilting direction because it is not fixed.
WARNING
!
Never attempt to disassemble shock
absorber of gas assist tilt system. It is
dangerous because high pressure gas
is included in the shock absorber.
*Care must be taken so as not to
release lock lever by accident.
*For more safety, tie the clamp bracket
to the outboard motor with a rope.
*Pay attention to the tilting direction so as not
to be injured by the springing stern bracket.

CAUTION
!
The tilt support device supplied on your
outboard motor is not intended for towing.
It is intended to support the outboard motor
while the boat is docked, beached, etc.
CAUTION
!
When trailering the outboard motor should
be in a vertical (normal running) position, fully
down. Trailering in the tilted position may cause
damage to the outboard motor, boat, etc.
If trailering with outboard motor fully down
is not available (the gear case skeg is too
close to the road in a vertical position), fix the
outboard motor securely using a device (like
a transom saver bar) in the tilted position.
WARNING
!
Please disconnect fuel connector
except when operating engine.
Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard,
which can cause serious injury or death.
