INSTALLATION OF BATTERY


Failure to take proper precautions when handling the
battery may cause severe injury.
Be sure to take the following precautions when han-
dling the battery:
• Never expose the battery to open flames or electric
sparks as batteries generate gas which is flammable
and explosive.
• Do not place the battery near the fuel tank.
• Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with eyes, skin, clothing and painted surfaces.
If you come in contact with battery acid, flush imme-
diately with large amounts of water and seek
immediate medical attention.
• Batteries should always be kept out of reach of chil-
dren.
• When checking or servicing battery, disconnect the
negative (black) cable. Be careful not to cause a
short circuit by allowing metal objects to contact the
battery posts and motor at the same time.
• Wear approved eye protection.
Store the battery free from splash of water, etc. and fix it
securely to the hull with a battery band or the like to prevent it
from falling down during boating.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the battery be installed in an enclosed
battery case.
NOTE:
In the case of multiple engine installation, be sure to use a bat-
tery for an engine respectively.
NOTE:
When extending the battery cable, use a cable of diameter
larger than equivalence of AV30 (AWG2).
NOTE:
Suzuki recommends that the customer, dealer, or boat builder
should install the terminal cap on the positive battery terminal to
prevent an accidental short circuit of battery terminals.
If a terminal cap is required, contact your authorized Suzuki
Marine Dealer.
