STARTING THE ENGINE
If water does not flow out, or if
steam comes out, stop the engine.
Check to see if the screen in the
cooling water intake port is
obstructed and remove foreign
materials if necessary. Check the
cooling water check hole for
clogging. If water still does not flow
out, have your outboard motor
checked by an authorized
TOHATSU outboard motor dealer.
Do not operate the engine until the
problem has been corrected.
