NOTICE
If you hold the ignition key at the "START"
position to start the engine, the starter system
can be damaged.
Turn the ignition key to the "START" position
once and release it to start the engine. The
engine will crank continuously for 4 seconds
or until the engine starts.
NOTE:
The continuous operating time of the starter
motor is set at five seconds.
When this time is exceeded, the starter motor
will automatically stop.
If the motor stops, wait about ten seconds for
the motor to cool down and try again.
NOTICE
If the OIL lamp remains lit while operating the
outboard, the oil level may be low enough to
damage the engine.
Stop the engine and check the oil level.
5. Warm up the engine for about 5 minutes.
NOTICE
Operating the engine at high RPM or "wide
open throttle" immediately after starting the
engine without allowing the engine to warm
up may cause engine failure.
Always allow the engine to warm up suffi-
ciently before operating it at high speeds.
Cooling water check
As soon as the engine starts, water should
spray out of the pilot water hole 1, indicating
that the water pump and cooling system are
working properly. If you notice that water does
not spray out of the pilot water hole, stop the
engine as soon as possible and consult your
authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.
NOTICE
Never operate your outboard motor when
there is no water coming out of the pilot water
hole, or severe damage can result.
After starting the engine, check to make sure
that there is water coming out of the pilot
water hole.
V WARNING
Operating the boat when the emergency stop
switch is not operating properly can be haz-
ardous.
Before starting off, check to make sure that
the emergency stop switch operates properly.
