5. With the outboard motor in trim up 4 degrees
position, inject the specified gear oil into the
gear oil drain hole 4 until it just starts to
come out of the rear gear oil level hole 5.
Approximately 3.2L (3.4/2.8 US/Imp qt.) will
be required.
6. Reinstall and tighten the rear gear oil level
plug 2 before removing oil filler tube from
drain hole.
7. Then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear oil
drain plug 3.
NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check
the gear oil level 10 minutes after doing the pro-
cedure in the step 7. If the oil level is low, slowly
inject the gear oil into the rear gear oil level hole
5 up to the correct level.
 WARNING
Gear oil can cause injury to people or
pets. Repeated, prolonged contact with
used gear oil may cause skin cancer.
Even brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin.
• Keep new and used oil away from chil-
dren and pets.
• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and water-
proof gloves when handling oil.
• Wash with soap if oil contacts your
skin.
• Launder any clothing or rags that are
wet with oil.
NOTE:
Recycle or properly dispose of used gear oil.
Do not throw it in the trash, or pour it on the
ground, down a drain, or into the water.
NOTICE
If fishing line wraps around the rotating
propeller shaft, the propeller shaft oil seal
can become damaged and can allow
water to enter the gear case causing
severe damage.
If the gear oil has a milky color, it is con-
taminated with water. Immediately con-
tact your authorized Suzuki marine dealer
for advice. Do not operate your outboard
until the oil is changed and the cause of
the contamination is corrected.
