MAINTENANCE
Water Separator
Water separator is located below the
intake manifold. Water accumulation
in the water separator can cause loss
of power or hard starting. Check the
water separator periodically. Clean it
or consult with an authorized
TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for
cleaning.
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.
• Always work in a well-ventilated
area.
• Be sure that any fuel drained
from the outboard motor is
stored in a safe container.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when
cleaning the water separator.
Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make
sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
