Cooling water check
As soon as the engine starts, water should
spray out of the pilot water hole 1, indicating
that the water pump and cooling system are

NOTICE
Continuing to operate your outboard motor
with the Caution System activated could
result in severe damage to your outboard
motor.
If the caution lamp remains lit after starting
the engine, check the engine oil level and add
oil if necessary. If the oil level is correct, con-
sult your authorized Suzuki marine dealer.
NOTICE
Operating the engine at high RPM or “wide
open throttle” immediately after starting the
engine without allowing the engine to warm
up may cause engine failure.
Always allow the engine to warm up suffi-
ciently before operating it at high speeds.
EMERGENCY STARTING
NOTE:
The electric starter models are equipped with a
recoil starter as the back-up system for emer-
gency starting. Therefore, an additional emer-
gency starter rope is not provided.
If you must get the engine running, but are
unable to do so because of recoil starter sys-
tem failure, you can use the emergency starting
procedure to start the engine.
NOTICE
Never operate your outboard motor when
there is no water coming out of the pilot water
hole, or severe damage can result.
After starting the engine, check to make sure
that there is water coming out of the pilot
water hole.
WARNING
Operating the boat when the emergency stop
switch is not operating properly can be haz-
ardous.
Before starting off, check to make sure that
the emergency stop switch operates properly.
WARNING
If you touch electrical components when rope-
starting the engine, you can get a severe elec-
trical shock.
When rope-starting the engine, be careful not
to touch electrical components such as igni-
tion coils or spark plug leads.
