PRECAUTION WHEN INSTALLING ELEC-
TRONIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
NOTICE
Open, short circuit or poor electrical connections can result in
loss of electronic throttle and gear shift control.
Be sure to take the following precautions:
• Do not cut or extend the wiring harness and lead wires.
Water may enter from the joint of the wiring harness or lead
wire, causing a continuity error at the connections, resulting in
shifting and throttle control errors.
• Ensure all connections are correct and tight, and plug all con-
nectors not in use with a waterproof cap.
If you do not disconnect the battery before connecting the wiring
harness to electrical equipment, you could get an electrical
shock.
Always disconnect the battery before installing or removing elec-
trical equipment.
First turn the main switch OFF, and disconnect the battery’s neg-
ative terminal, and then disconnect the positive terminal.
When reconnecting the battery, turn the main switch OFF, con-
nect the battery’s positive terminal first, and then connect the
negative terminal.
Installing and routing the harness of SPC (Suzuki Precision Con-
trol) system components in an inappropriate location can result
in system failure.
Be sure to take the following precautions:
• To avoid malfunction of the electronic control system caused by
radio waves, antennas, or coaxial cables of the radio, install
navigation and other equipment more than 50 cm (20 in.) away
from the BCM and the outboard motor.
• Install the BCM in a dry location, as far as possible from where it
might get splashed with water.
• Install the BCM so that the connector faces downward.
• Install the BCM on a flat surface so it will not fall off during boat-
ing.
• Lay out the wires of the wiring harness in dry locations, as far
as possible from where they might be exposed to water.
• Fix the wiring harness using clamps positioned at a proper dis-
tance.
