1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING / CAUTION / NOTE Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully. To emphasize special information, the symbol and the words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE have special meanings. Pay special attention to the mes- sages highlighted by these signal words. ! Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or injury. " Indicates a potential hazard that could result in motor damage. NOTE: Indicates special information to make maintenance easier or instructions clearer. Please note, however, that the warnings and cautions contained in this manual cannot possibly cover all potential hazards relating to the servicing, or lack of servicing, of the outboard motor. In addition to the WARNING and CAUTION stated, you must also use good judgement and observe basic mechanical safety principles. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS • Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic and the safety and reliability of the outboard motor. • To avoid eye injury, always wear protective goggles when filing metals, working on a grinder, or doing other work, which could cause flying material particles. • When 2 or more persons work together, pay attention to the safety of each other. • When it is necessary to run the outboard motor indoors, make sure that exhaust gas is vented outdoors. • When testing an outboard motor in the water and on a boat, ensure that the necessary safety equipment is on board. Such equipment includes : flotation aids for each person, fire extinguisher, distress signals, anchor, paddles, bilge pump, first-aid kit, emergency starter rope, etc. • When working with toxic or flammable materials, make sure that the area you work in is well- ventilated and that you follow all of the material manufacturer’s instructions. • Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent. • To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil or exhaust system during or shortly after engine operation. • Oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed from contact with oil. Keep new and used oil away from children and pets. To minimize your exposure to oil, wear a long sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing oil. If oil con- tacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil. • After servicing fuel, oil/engine cooling system and exhaust system, check all lines and fit- tings related to the system for leaks. • Carefully adhere to the battery handling instructions laid out by the battery supplier. !

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3 • If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or their equivalent. • When removing parts that are to be reused, keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that they may be reinstalled in the proper order and orientation. • Be sure to use special tools when instructed. • Make sure that all parts used in assembly are clean and also lubricated when specified. • When use of a certain type of lubricant, bond, or sealant is specified, be sure to use the specified type. • When removing the battery, disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive cable. When reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable. • When performing service to electrical parts, if the service procedures do not require using battery power, disconnect the negative cable at the battery. • Tighten cylinder head and case bolts and nuts, beginning with larger diameter and ending with smaller diameter. Always tighten from inside to outside diagonally to the specified tightening torque. • Whenever you remove oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, locking washers, locking nuts, cotter pins, circlips, and certain other parts as specified, always replace them with new. Also, before installing these new parts, be sure to remove any left over material from the mating surfaces. • Never reuse a circlip. When installing a new circlip, take care not to expand the end gap larger than required to slip the circlip over the shaft. After installing a circlip, always ensure that it is completely seated in its groove and securely fitted. • Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the torque values when specified. Remove grease or oil from screw / bolt threads unless a lubricant is specified. • After assembly, check parts for tightness and operation. • To protect the environment, do not unlawfully dispose of used motor oil, other fluids, and batteries. • To protect the Earth’s natural resources, properly dispose of used motor parts.

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER LOCATION MODEL, PRE-FIX, SERIAL NUMBER The MODEL, PRE-FIX and SERIAL NUMBER of the motor are stamped on a plate attached to the clamp bracket. Example FUEL AND OIL GASOLINE RECOMMENDATION Suzuki highly recommends that you use alcohol - free unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump octane rating of 87 (R+M / 2 method) or 91 (Research method). However, blends of unleaded gasoline and alcohol with equivalent octane content may be used. Allowable maximum blend of a single additive (not combina- tion) : 5% Methanol, 10% Ethanol, 15% MTBE " If leaded gasoline is used, engine damage may result. Use only unleaded gasoline. ENGINE OIL Use only oils that are rated SE, SF, SG, SH, or SJ under the API (American Petroleum Institute) classification system. The viscosity rating should be SAE 10W-40. If an SAE 10W-40 motor oil is not available, select an alterna- tive according to the chart at right. ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER A second engine serial number plate is pressed into a boss on the sylinder block. THAI SUZUKI MOTOR CO.,LTD. MADE IN THAILAND FABRIQUE AU THAILANDE

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5 ENGINE BREAK-IN The first 10 hours are critically important to ensure correct running of either a brand new motor or a motor that has been reconditioned or rebuilt. How the motor is operated during this time will have direct bearing on its life span and long-term durability. Break-in period : 10 hours WARM-UP RECOMMENDATION Allow sufficient idling time (more than 5 minutes) for the engine to warm up after cold engine starting. THROTTLE RECOMMENDATION NOTE: Avoid maintaining a constant engine speed for an extended period at any time during the engine break-in by varying the throttle position occasionally. 1. FIRST 2 HOURS For first 15 minutes, operate the engine in-gear at idling speed. During the remaining 1 hour and 45 minutes, operate the engine in-gear at less than 1/2 (half) throttle (3000 r/ min). NOTE: The throttle may be briefly opened beyond the recommended setting to plane the boat, but must be reduced to the recommended setting immediately after planing. 2. NEXT 1 HOUR Operate the engine in-gear at less than 3/4 (three-quar- ter) throttle (4000 r/min). 3. LAST 7 HOURS Operate the engine in-gear at desired engine speed. However, do not operate continuously at full throttle for more than 5 minutes.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION PROPELLERS An outboard motor is designed to develop its rated power within a specified engine speed range. The maximum rated power delivered by the DF4/5 models are shown below. Blade × Diam. (in) × Pitch (in) 3 × 7 - # × 6 (C 600) 3 × 7 - # × 6 - # (C 610) 3 × 7 - # × 7 (C 700) If the standard propeller fails to meet the above requirement, use another pitch propeller to hold the engine speed within the range specified above. Propeller selection chart Recommended full throttle speed range DF4 4000 – 5000 r/min DF5 4500 – 5500 r/min " Installing a propeller with pitch either too high or too low will cause incorrect maximum engine speed, which may result in severe damage to the motor.
