Suzuki DF100C - Operation in Shallow Water; Operation in Salt Water

60
NOTE:
• When pressing the “DN” switch at the lower
limit of trolling speed of all engines, the
engine speed will not change and three long
beeps will sound.
• When pressing the “UP” switch at the upper
limit of trolling speed of all engines, the
engine speed will not change and three long
beeps will sound.
• For the dual engines:
If the switch is operated when one engine
has reached the adjustment limit of trolling
speed, while any other engine has not, one
short beep sounds and the rpm of engine
which has not reached the adjustment limit
changes.
• Shift operation and throttle control remain
operational, even in troll mode.
Cancelling the Troll mode:
The troll mode can be cancelled by shifting the
all remote control levers to the neutral position,
or by increasing the engine speed to 3000 r/min
or more. In both cases, two short beeps sound
when cancelling the troll mode.
OPERATION IN SHALLOW WATER
When operating your boat in shallow water, it
may be necessary to tilt the motor higher than
the normal trim angle. When you tilt the motor
beyond the normal trim angle, however, you
should only operate the boat at slow speeds.
After returning to deep water, be sure to lower
the motor to the normal trim angle.
OPERATION IN SALT WATER
After operating the motor in salt water, you
should flush the water passages with clean,
fresh water as outlined in the FLUSHING THE
WATER PASSAGES section. If you do not flush
the water passages, salt can corrode the motor
and shorten its life.
V WARNING
When the motor is beyond the maximum trim
position, the swivel bracket will not have side
support from the clamp bracket and the tilt
system will be unable to cushion the engine if
the lower unit strikes an obstruction. This
could lead to occupant injury. In addition,
beyond the maximum trim position, the water
intake holes may be above the water line,
which can result in severe engine damage
from overheating.
Do not operate the engine above 1500 r/min or
operate the boat in a planing attitude with the
engine beyond the maximum trim position.
NOTICE
If the motor hits bottom, serious damage can
occur.
Do not allow the motor to hit bottom. If the
motor does strike bottom, inspect it immedi-
ately for damage.
