NOTICE
Operating the engine at high RPM or
"wide open throttle" immediately after
starting the engine without allowing the
engine to warm up may cause engine fail-
ure.
Always allow the engine to warm up suffi-
ciently before operating it at high speeds.
Cooling water check
As soon as the engine starts, water should
spray out of the pilot water hole 1, indicating
that the water pump and cooling system are
working properly. If you notice that water does
not spray out of the pilot water hole, stop the
engine as soon as possible and consult your
authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.
NOTICE
Never operate your outboard motor when
there is no water coming out of the pilot
water hole, or severe damage can result.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that there is water coming out of the
pilot water hole.
 WARNING
Operating the boat when the emergency
stop switch is not operating properly can
be hazardous.
Before starting off, check to make sure
that the emergency stop switch operates
properly.
