General Precautions - TOHATSU NB-1000 Service Manual

SECTION 2

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Before performing any service work on the outboard engine, read
and understand Section 1 - Service Safety.
Use only genuine factory replacement parts with equivalent
characteristics such as type, material, and strength. Failure to do
so may result in product malfunction and injury to the operator or
passengers.
Follow the Standard Torque Values chart when a special torque
value for a certain fastener is not listed in the Special Torque
Values chart at the beginning of each section.
Rather than just repairing a bad part, use repair kits and overhaul
kits when applicable to ensure complete and efficient repair of the
complete component. Wear not readily noticed on other parts can
lead to malfunction soon after the repair.
When indicated in a procedure, use manufacturer special tools. ln
some cases, the use of substitute tools will damage the part.
When using compressed air to clean or dry parts, make sure air
supply is regulated not to exceed 25 psi [172 kPa / 1.76 kg/cm ].
