OVERHEAT CAUTION SYSTEM
This system is activated when the cylinder wall
temperature is too high due to insufficient water
cooling.
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 beep. When this system is
activated at 2000 r/min. or higher, engine speed
will automatically be reduced to approximately
2000 r/min.
If the overheat caution system activates when
operating, reduce engine speed immediately
and check to see if water is being discharged
from the pilot water hole. If no water is seen, fol-
low the procedures outlined below.
Water and wind conditions permitting, stop the
motor, tilt it out of the water and remove any
debris like seaweed, plastic bags or sand that
may have blocked the water intakes.
Lower the motor into the water, being sure that
water intakes are immersed, and restart it.
Check (A) that water discharges from the pilot
hole and (B) that the caution lamp is no longer
lit.
Be aware that the caution lamp may light again
if engine temperature rises abnormally. If either
of the above situations arises, your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer must
be consulted as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with the overheat cau-
tion system activated can result in severe
engine damage.
If the overheat caution system activates, stop
the engine as soon as possible, wind and
water conditions permitting, and inspect the
engine according to the above instructions.
Consult your authorized Suzuki marine dealer
if you cannot correct the problem.
OPERATION OF TILTING
SYSTEMS
TILT LOCK LEVER
The tilt lock lever A has two positions.
“Lock” Position
Use this position whenever you operate the
motor in “REVERSE” gear and whenever you
operate the motor in deep water where you do
not expect to encounter underwater objects.
Placing the tilt lock lever in the “lock” position
prevents the motor from lifting out of the water
due to forces such as propeller thrust during
operation in “REVERSE” gear or rapid deceler-
ation.
NOTICE
If you strike an underwater object with the tilt
lock lever in the “LOCK” position, your out-
board motor or boat may be damaged.
When operating the motor in an area where
you may encounter underwater objects, move
the tilt lock lever to the “RELEASE” position
and operate the motor only at very low
speeds.
