FUEL AND OIL

GASOLINE

Suzuki highly recommends that you use alco-

hol-free unleaded gasoline whenever possible,

with a minimum pump octane rating of 87

((R+M)/2 method). In some areas, the only

fuels that are available are oxygenated fuels.

Oxygenated fuels which meet the minimum

octane requirement and the requirements

described below may be used in your outboard

motor without jeopardizing the New Outboard

Motor Limited Warranty.

NOTE:

Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain oxy-

gen-carrying additives such as MTBE or alco-

hol.

Gasoline Containing MTBE

Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE (Methyl

Tertiary Butyl Ether) may be used in your out-

board motor if the MTBE content is not greater

than 15%. This oxygenated fuel does not con-

tain alcohol.

Gasoline/Ethanol Blends

Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (grain

alcohol), also known as gasohol, may be used

in your outboard motor if the ethanol content is

not greater than 10%.

NOTICE

Use of leaded gasoline can cause engine

damage. Use of improper or poor quality

fuel can affect performance and may

damage your motor and fuel system.

Use only unleaded gasoline. Do not use

fuel having lower than the recommended

octane, or fuel that may be stale or con-

taminated by dirt/water etc.

Gasoline/Methanol Blends

Avoid using blends of unleaded gasoline and

methanol (wood alcohol) whenever possible.

DO NOT USE fuels containing more than 5%

methanol under any circumstances. Fuel sys-

tem damage or outboard motor performance

problems resulting from the use of such fuels

are not the responsibility of Suzuki and may not

be covered under the New Outboard Motor Lim-

ited Warranty.

Fuel containing 5% or less methanol may be

suitable for use in your outboard motor if they

contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

Fuel Pump Labeling

In some states, pumps that dispense oxygen-

ated fuels are required to be labeled for the type

and percentage of oxygenate, and whether

important additives are present. Such labels

may provide enough information for you to

determine if a particular blend of fuel meets the

requirements listed above. In other states,

pumps may not be clearly labeled as to the con-

tent or type of oxygenate and additives. If you

are not sure that the fuel you intend to use

meets these requirements, check with the ser-

vice station operator or the fuel suppliers.

NOTE:

• Be sure that any oxygenated fuel blend you

use has octane ratings of at least 87 pump

octane ((R+M)/2 method).

• If you are not satisfied with the driveability or

fuel economy of your outboard motor when

you are using a gasoline/alcohol blend, you

should switch back to unleaded gasoline con-

taining no alcohol.

• If engine pinging is experienced, substitute

another brand, as there are differences

between brands.

NOTICE

Gasoline kept in the fuel tank for long

periods of time will produce varnish and

gum, which can damage the engine.

Always use fresh gasoline.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

To fill the fuel tank:

1. Always stop the engine before refilling the

tank.

2. Remove the portable fuel tank from the boat

to refill it.

3. Turn the air-vent screw 1 on top of the fuel

tank cap 2 fully counterclockwise to open

the vent.

NOTE:

VENT SCREW should be CLOSED for trans-

portation and OPEN for OPERATlON and CAP

REMOVAL.

 WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and

toxic. It can cause a fire and can be haz-

ardous to people and pets.

Always take the following precautions

when refueling:

• Never permit anyone other than an

adult to refill the fuel tank.

• If you use a portable fuel tank, always

stop the motor and remove the fuel

tank from the boat to refill it.

• Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to

the top or fuel may overflow when it

expands due to heating by the sun.

• Be careful not to spill fuel. If you do,

wipe it up immediately.

• Do not smoke, and keep away from

open flames and sparks.

NOTICE

Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint

damage, which is not covered under the

New Outboard Motor Limited Warranty.

Be careful not to spill fuel containing

alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled,

wipe it up immediately.

4. Locate the pressure relief tab 3 under the

fuel tank cap and turn the cap counterclock-

wise until the tab engages the first lock.

5. Press down on the tab, and release the lock,

then rotate the fuel tank cap 1/4 turn. The

tab will engage the second lock.

6. Press the tab down again and turn to

remove the fuel tank cap.

7. Carefully refill the fuel tank with gasoline.

Do not over fill.

8. Tighten the fuel tank cap until an audible

“click” is heard.

9. Tighten the air-vent screw on top of the fuel

tank cap.

MOTOR INSTALLATION

NOTE:

It is against federal regulations for any marine

dealer to service a motor that exceeds the rec-

ommended maximum horsepower for your

boat.

TILLER HANDLE MODEL

Proper transom height is important for good

performance. A motor mounted on a transom

that is too high causes the propeller to slip

resulting in wasted power or overheating.

A motor mounted on a transom that is too low

will increase drag, causing reduced speed.

Make sure that when the motor is lowered all

the way down, the anti-cavitation plate is

located 0 – 25 mm (0 – 1.0 in.) below the bot-

tom of the boat (See illustration below).

 WARNING

Overpowering your boat can be hazard-

ous. Excessive horsepower will have an

adverse effect on hull safety and may

cause operating/handling difficulties. The

boat may also sustain stress and hull

damage.

Never install an outboard motor with

horsepower exceeding the manufac-

turer’s recommended maximum horse-

power listed on the boat’s “Certification

Plate”. Contact your authorized Suzuki

marine dealer if you are unable to locate

the hull “Certificate Plate”.

NOTICE

Operating your outboard motor with the

anti-cavitation plate above water can

cause overheating and severe damage to

your outboard motor.

Do not operate your outboard motor with

the anti-cavitation plate above water.

Center the motor on the transom and secure it

by alternately tightening the clamp bracket

screws by hand. Make sure you accurately cen-

ter the motor, or the boat will pull to one side

during operation.

Install 10 mm bolts, washers and nuts, as illus-

trated and tighten the bolts sequentially. Be

sure to seal the holes to prevent water leakage.

After installing the motor, check to make sure

that steering and tilt movement are not

obstructed by any part of the boat. Also make

sure that the battery cable (if applicable)

doesn’t interfere with movement of the motor.

 WARNING

If the motor is not properly secured to the

transom, it can come off.

Be sure to bolt the motor to the transom.

The motor may come off if it is held only

by the clamp screws. Occasionally check

the clamp screws for tightness.

NOTICE

If you attempt to mount the outboard to

the transom without having mechanical

experience or without being certain

where to drill holes, you can seriously

damage the boat.

If you do not have mechanical experience

or are not sure of where to drill holes in

the boat’s transom, you should have your

motor mounted by your authorized

Suzuki marine dealer.

REMOTE CONTROL MODEL

Suzuki strongly recommends that you have

your outboard motor, controls and gauges

installed by your authorized Suzuki Marine

Dealer. He has the tools, the facilities and the

know-how to do the job correctly.

 WARNING

Failure to have your outboard motor and

associated controls and gauges properly

installed can result in personal injury or

damage.

tery that meets the specifications shown below.

450 Marine Cranking Amps (MCA)/ABYC,

or 330 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)/SAE

or 70 Reserve Capacity (RC) Minutes/SAE

NOTE:

• The specifications listed above are the mini-

mum battery rating requirements for starting

the engine.

• Additional electrical loads from the boat will

require larger capacity batteries. Consult

your Suzuki dealer to determine the proper

battery sizing for your boat and engine com-

bination.

• Dual-purpose (Cranking/Deep-cycle) batter-

ies can be used if they meet the minimum

specifications listed above (MCA, CCA, or

RC).

• Do not use a Deep Cycle battery for the main

cranking battery.

• The use of Maintenance-Free, sealed, or Gel-

Cell batteries is not recommended because

they may not be compatible with Suzuki’s

charging system.

• When connecting batteries in parallel, they

must be of the same type, capacity, manufac-

turer, and of similar age. When replacement

is necessary, they should be replaced as a

set. Consult your Suzuki dealer for proper

battery installation information.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Secure the battery in a dry area of the boat,

away from vibration.

NOTE:

• It is recommended that the battery be

installed in an enclosed battery case.

nect the red lead from the positive terminal.

Connecting and disconnecting the battery as

described above will help minimize the chance

of creating an accidental short circuit and

sparks.

 WARNING

If you place the battery near the fuel tank,

a spark from the battery may ignite the

gasoline, causing a fire and/or an explo-

sion.

Do not place the fuel tank in the same

compartment/area as the battery.

 WARNING

Batteries produce flammable hydrogen

gas and may explode if they are near

flames or sparks.

Never smoke or cause sparks when work-

ing near the battery. Keep the battery

away from open flames. To avoid creating

a spark when charging the battery, con-

nect the battery charger cables to the

proper terminals before turning the

charger on.

 WARNING

Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive.

It can cause severe injury and can dam-

age painted surfaces.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing,

and painted surfaces. If battery acid

comes in contact with any of these, flush

immediately with large amounts of water.

If acid contacts the eyes or skin, get

immediate medical attention.

NOTICE

The electrical system or its components

may be damaged if proper battery pre-

cautions are not followed.

• Be sure to attach battery leads cor-

rectly.

• Do not disconnect battery leads from

the battery while the engine is running.

17

USE OF ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

To use electrical accessories, you must pur-

chase a 40 AH or larger battery, rectifier and

related items. (Recoil starter model only).

The amount of power (12V DC) available for

accessories depends on the operating condi-

tion of the motor. For getting a detailed informa-

tion, please contact your authorized Suzuki

Marine Dealer.

NOTE:

Use of too much power for electrical accesso-

ries under certain operating conditions can

cause the battery to discharge.

NOTE:

On models equipped with a charge connector,

detach the charge cord from the connector and

install the cap to prevent water entry when not

in use.

NOTICE

If you connect electrical accessories

directly to the power receptacle of the

motor, the electrical accessories could be

damaged.

Connect lights and electrical accessories

for the boat to the battery. Consult your

authorized Suzuki marine dealer for infor-

mation about correct wiring.

PROPELLER SELECTION

AND INSTALLATION

PROPELLER SELECTION

It is essential to use a propeller on your out-

board motor that is properly matched to your

boat’s operating characteristics. The speed of

the engine when you operate your boat at full

throttle depends on the propeller you use.

Excessive engine speed can seriously damage

the motor, while low engine speed at full throttle

will adversely affect performance. Your operat-

ing load will also affect propeller selection.

Smaller loads generally require larger-pitch pro-

pellers; larger loads generally require smaller-

pitch propellers. Your authorized Suzuki Marine

Dealer will assist you in selecting a suitable pro-

peller for your boat.

You can determine if your propeller is appropri-

ate for use with your boat by using a tachome-

ter to measure engine speed when operating

your boat at full throttle, under minimum load

conditions. If you are using an appropriate pro-

peller, the engine speed will be within the fol-

lowing range:

If the engine speed is not within this range, con-

sult your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer to

determine which propeller size is best for you.

If you change propellers, be sure to perform the

above check again, to confirm that the engine

speed under full throttle is within the specified

range.

NOTICE

Installing a propeller with either too much

or too little pitch will cause incorrect

maximum engine speed, which may

result in severe damage to the motor.

Ask your authorized Suzuki marine

dealer to assist you in selecting a suit-

able propeller for your boat.

PROPELLER INSTALLATION

To install a propeller on your outboard motor,

use the following procedure:

1. Coat the propeller shaft splines 1 liberally

with Suzuki water resistant grease to help

prevent corrosion.

2. Place the stopper 2 on the shaft.

3. Align the propeller 3 with the propeller shaft

splines and slide the propeller onto the shaft.

4. Place the spacer 4 and washer 5 on the

shaft.

5. Install the propeller nut 6 and tighten it with

a torque wrench to 29 – 31 N·m (2.9 – 3.1

kg-m/21.0 – 22.5 lb-ft).

6. Align the grooves in the propeller nut with

the hole in the shaft, then insert the cotter

pin 7 and bend the pin ends over to lock it in

place.

To remove the propeller, reverse the above pro-

cedure.

 WARNING

Failure to take proper precautions when

installing or removing the propeller can

result in severe personal injury.

When installing or removing the propeller:

• Always shift into “Neutral” and remove

the emergency stop switch lock plate

so that the motor cannot be started

accidentally.

• Wear gloves to protect hands, and

“lock” the propeller by placing a block

of wood between the blades and the

anti-cavitation plate.

ADJUSTMENTS

TRIM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

To help maintain steering stability and good

performance, always maintain the proper trim

angle as shown in the illustration. The appropri-

ate trim angle varies depending on the combi-

nation of the boat, engine, and propeller, as well

as operating conditions.

•

Trim angle too large (Boat tends to “porpoise”)

• Trim angle too small (Boat tends to “plow”)

• Proper trim angle
