Suzuki DF30A - Battery Installation Guidelines

17
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 provided) doesn’t
interfere with movement of the motor.
REMOTE CONTROL MODEL
Suzuki strongly recommends that you have
your outboard motor, controls and gauges
installed by an authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer. He has the tools, the facilities and the
know-how.
NOTICE
If you attempt to mount the outboard to the
transom without having mechanical experi-
ence 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.
 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.
 WARNING
Failure to have your outboard motor and asso-
ciated controls and gauges properly installed
can result in personal injury or damage.
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.

must be of the same type, capacity, manufac-
turer, and of similar age. When replacement
is necessary, they should be replaced as a
