General Precautions
ZAJ6110000001
WARNING !
• 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 glasses when filing metals, working on a grinder, or
doing other work, which could cause debris.
• When two 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, 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 latex gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts 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 the fuel, lubrication, cooling and/or the exhaust system, check all lines and fittings
related to the system for leaks.
• Carefully adhere to the battery handling instructions laid out by the battery supplier.

Precautions: 00-2
CAUTION
• 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 where 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 or batteries.
• To protect the Earth's natural resources, properly dispose of used motor parts.

Fuel and Oil Recommendations
ZAJ6110101007
Gasoline
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
combination)
5% Methanol, 10% Ethanol, 15% MTBE
CAUTION
If leaded gasoline is used, engine damage
may result. Use only unleaded gasoline.
Engine oil
Oil quality is a major contributor to your engine’s
performance and life. Always select good quality engine
oil.
Suzuki recommends the use of a SAE 10 W – 40 NMMA
certified oil.
If NMMA certified FC-W oil is not available, select a good
quality 4-cycle motor oil from the following chart
according to the average temperatures in your area.
Gear oil
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI Outboard Motor
Gear Oil. If it is not available, use SAE 90 hypoid gear oil
which is rated GL-5 under the API classification system.
Break-In Procedures
ZAJ6110101008
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 period by varying the throttle
position occasionally.
First 2 hours
For the 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 (3 000 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 planning.
Next 1 hour
Operate the engine in-gear at less than 3/4 (three -
quarter) throttle (4 000 r/min).
Last 7 hours
Operate the engine in-gear at a desired engine speed.
However, do not operate continuously at full throttle for
more than 5 minutes.
