WARNING

Failure to take the proper precautions may

increase the risk of death or severe injury to

you and your passengers.

• Prior to first-time use of your outboard

motor, familiarize yourself thoroughly with

the contents of this owner’s manual. Be

aware of all outboard motor features and all

safety and maintenance requirements.

• Inspect the boat and motor before each trip.

See the INSPECTION BEFORE BOATING

section for important items.

• Become thoroughly familiar with all operat-

ing and handling characteristics of your

boat and motor. Practice at low and moder-

ate speeds until you are competent at han-

dling the boat and motor. Do not attempt to

operate at maximum performance until you

are completely familiar with all of these

characteristics.

• Carry boating safety and emergency equip-

ment. This important equipment includes;

flotation aids for each person (plus one

throwable buoyant cushion in any boat 16

feet or longer), fire extinguisher, sound sig-

naling device, visual distress signals,

anchor, bilge pump, bucket, compass,

emergency starter rope, extra fuel and oil,

first aid kit, flashlight, food and water, mir-

ror, paddles, tool kit, and transistor radio.

Be sure you are carrying the equipment

appropriate for your trip before launching.

• Never start the engine or let it run indoors

or where there is little or no ventilation.

Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a

gas that is colorless and odorless and can

cause death or severe injury.

• Instruct your passengers on how to operate

the boat, how to deal with emergencies, and

how to operate safety and emergency

equipment.

• Do not hold onto the motor cover or any

other parts of your outboard motor while

getting on or off your boat.

• Ensure that everyone wears a life jacket on

board.

• Never operate the boat while under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs.

• Distribute all weight load evenly in the boat.

• Have all scheduled maintenance performed.

Consult your authorized Suzuki marine

dealer as required.

• Do not modify or remove any outboard

motor standard equipment. To do so may

make the motor unsafe to use.

• Learn and obey all applicable navigation

rules.

• Pay attention to all weather forecasts. Do

not set out if weather is unsettled.

• Use extreme caution when purchasing

replacement parts or accessories. Suzuki

strongly recommends that you use only

genuine Suzuki replacement parts/accesso-

ries or their equivalent. Inappropriate or

poor quality replacement parts or accesso-

ries can create unsafe operating conditions.

What is the recommended oil type and oil change interval for my outboard motor? Verified

The recommended oil type and change interval for your outboard motor will vary depending on the make and model of your motor.
