Oil Pressure Caution System - Suzuki DF350A Owner's Manual

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.

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.
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.
40
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 dam-
aged If you rely on the Oil Pressure Cau-
tion System to indicate the need to add
engine oil.
Check the engine oil level periodically
and add oil as necessary.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with the Oil Pres-
sure Caution System activated can result
in severe engine damage.
If the Oil Pressure Caution System acti-
vates, stop the engine as soon as possi-
ble and add engine oil, if necessary, or
otherwise correct the problem.
