Suzuki DF300BMD - Oil Pressure Caution System

37
If you continue to run, engine speed will auto-
matically be reduced to approximately 3000
r/min, simultaneously the buzzer sounds. Then
the display will be changed into “Over Revolu-
tion”.
The “Over Revolution” indication clears when
any of the button is pressed in the gauge.
This system must be reset by moving the throt-
tle to the idle position for about one second to
restore full engine operation.
OIL PRESSURE CAUTION SYSTEM
This system operates when the engine lubricat-
ing oil pressure drops below the correct level.
If this system activates, the “Low Oil Pressure”
and caution alarm icon are displayed on
screen, and the buzzer sounds. In addition,
when this system is activated at 1000 r/min. or
higher, engine speed will automatically be
reduced to approximately 1000 r/min.
NOTICE
If the Over-Revolution Caution System acti-
vates at recommended maximum throttle and
you are sure that the propeller pitch is suffi-
cient and there are no factors like “over-trim-
ming” 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 acti-
vates for no apparent reason.
If you continue to run, the engine will automati-
cally stop 3 minutes after beginning of the
above CAUTION system activation.
NOTE:
In case that the engine is automatically stopped
due to the CAUTION system, the engine can be
started again.
However the CAUTION system will repeatedly
activate until eliminating the cause.
The “Low Oil Pressure” indication clears when
any of the button is pressed in the gauge. How-
ever, the caution alarm icon is displayed until
eliminating the cause.
If this system activates, stop the engine imme-
diately, if wind and water conditions make it safe
to do so.
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If
the oil level is correct, consult your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.
NOTICE
Your engine may become severely damaged If
you rely on the Oil Pressure Caution System
to indicate the need to add engine oil.
Check the engine oil level periodically and add
oil as necessary.
