Caution System; Indicator Check - Suzuki DF70A Owner's Manual

CAUTION SYSTEM

The caution systems are designed to alert you
to certain situations which may cause damage
to your outboard motor.
NOTICE
Your outboard motor may become dam-
aged if you rely on the Caution System to
alert you to any malfunction that may
occur or to give you an indication of the
need for maintenance.
To avoid damage to your outboard motor,
regularly inspect and maintain it.
NOTICE
Continuing to operate your outboard
motor with the Caution System activated
can result in severe damage to your out-
board motor.
If the Caution System activates while you
are operating your outboard motor, stop
the motor as soon as possible and cor-
rect the problem or consult your autho-
rized Suzuki
assistance.

INDICATOR CHECK

Each time the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position, four lamps – the REV LIMIT 1, the
OIL 2, the TEMP 3 and the CHECK ENGINE
4 in the monitor-tachometer will light briefly
and the buzzer will also sound for the first two
seconds, regardless of the motor conditions.
For the next three seconds, the monitor-
tachometer will indicate the total motor operat-
ing hours by means of the lamp flashing and
needle indicating.
After this brief check period, the monitor-
tachometer will return to their stand-by mode
and will only respond to motor conditions
requiring a caution alert.

If the Caution System is not working
properly, you may not be alerted to a con-
dition that can cause damage to your out-
board motor.
If any of the four lamps does not come on
or the buzzer does not sound when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, the lamps or buzzer may be broken
or a failure may exist in the system cir-
cuit. Consult your authorized Suzuki
marine dealer.
