OVER-REVOLUTION CAUTION SYSTEM
This system is activated when engine speed
exceeds the maximum recommended speed for
more than 10 seconds.
If this system activates, engine speed will
automatically be reduced to approximately
3000 r/min. with the caution lamp lit.
This system must be reset by moving the throt-
tle to the idle position for about one second to
restore full engine operation.
NOTICE
If the Caution System is not working
properly, you may not be alerted to a con-
dition that can cause damage to your out-
board motor.
If the caution lamp does not come on
briefly once the engine starts, before
turning OFF again, the caution lamp may
be broken or a failure may exist in the
system circuit. Consult your authorized
Suzuki marine dealer.
NOTICE
Continuing to operate your outboard
motor with the Oil pressure Caution Sys-
tem activated can result in severe dam-
age to your outboard motor.
If the Oil Pressure Caution System acti-
vates, stop the engine as soon as possi-
ble and add oil if necessary. If the oil level
is correct, consult your authorized
Suzuki marine dealer.
OIL PRESSURE CAUTION SYSTEM
This system operates when the engine lubricat-
ing oil pressure drops below the correct pres-
sure.
If this system activates, the caution lamp will
light. On the remote control model, the buzzer
in the remote control box will simultaneously
begin a series of beeps. When this system is
activated at 2000 r/min. or higher, engine speed
will automatically be reduced to approximately
2000 r/min.
If this system activates when operating, stop
the engine immediately, if wind and water con-
ditions make it safe to do so.
NOTICE
If the Over-Revolution Caution System
activates at recommended maximum
throttle and you are sure that the propel-
ler pitch is sufficient and there are no fac-
tors like “over-trimming” or “ventilation”,
there may be a problem with the Over-
Revolution Caution System.
Consult your authorized Suzuki marine
dealer if the Over-Revolution Caution
System activates for no apparent reason.
WARNING
If you attempt to remove or reinstall the
motor cover while the engine is running,
you may be injured.
To check the oil level, stop the engine and
then remove the motor cover.
