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 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 and on a boat, ensure that the necessary safety
equipment is on board. Such equipment includes: flotation aids for each person, fire extin-
guisher, 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 equiv-
alent.
• 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 speci-
fied 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 tight-
ening 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 bat-
teries.
• To protect the Earth’s natural resources, properly dispose of used motor parts.

FUEL AND OIL
GASOLINE RECOMMENDATION
Suzuki highly recommends that you use alcohol-free unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump octane rating of 87 (R/2+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
"
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 SAE 10W-40 motor oil is not available, select an alternative
according to the chart at right.
If leaded gasoline is used, engine damage may result.
Use only unleaded gasoline.
