For longer service life of the outboard motor, have your outboard motor serviced by an authorized TOHATSU outboard motor dealer before storage.
However, the following procedures can be performed by you, the owner, with a minimum of tools.
Fuel
Gasoline spoils very quickly depending on factors such as light exposure, temperature and time. In worst cases, gasoline can be contaminated within 30 days.
Using contaminated gasoline can seriously damage the engine (fuel system clogged, valve stuck). Such damage due to spoiled fuel is disallowed from coverage by the warranty.
To avoid this please strictly follow these recommendations:
• Only use specified gasoline (see page 43).
• Use fresh and clean gasoline.
13. STORAGE
Vapor Separator Draining • To slow deterioration, keep gasoline in a certified fuel container.
• If long storage (more than 30 days) is foreseen, drain fuel tank and vapor separator.
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode, causing serious injury or death. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in your working area.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
• Be careful not to spill fuel.
Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before storing or transporting the outboard motor.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where fuel is drained or stored.
