Trailering - TOHATSU MFS 15C Owner's Manual

TRAILERING

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 outboard motor from
package or removing outboard 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.
A:Ground clearance should
be provided sufficiently.
WARNING
!
Please disconnect fuel connector
except when operating engine.
Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard,
which can cause serious injury or death.
