Starting The Engine - Suzuki DF4A Owner's Manual

 WARNING
Failure to properly attach the emergency
stop switch cord or to take proper pre-
cautions to help ensure that the emer-
gency stop switch works as intended may
result in serious injury or death to the
operator or passengers.
Always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the emergency stop
switch cord is fastened securely to the
operator's wrist or to an appropriate
clothing area (belt etc.).
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or
restrict emergency stop switch opera-
tion.
• Be careful not to pull the stop switch
cord or knock out the lock plate during
normal operation. The motor will stop
abruptly, and the loss of forward
motion may unexpectedly throw occu-
pants forward.
NOTE:
There is a spare plastic lock plate for temporary
use only. Remove it from the cord and place in
a safe place on the boat. However, the original
cord and lock plate should be replaced as soon
as possible.
8. Squeeze the fuel line priming bulb several
times until you feel resistance.

NOTE:
Do not squeeze the priming bulb while the
engine is running, as the carburetor may over-
flow.
NOTE:
Only for DF6A
When starting the engine on gasoline from the
built-in fuel tank after the separate fuel tank
becomes empty:
1. Disconnect the fuel line of the separate fuel
tank from the fuel connector on the engine
side.
Install the fuel connector cap to fuel connec-
tor.
2. Pour fuel into the built-in fuel tank and wait
about 1/3 minute before starting.
3. Turn the fuel cock lever to left.

STARTING THE ENGINE

 WARNING
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide,
a dangerous gas that is difficult to detect
because it is colorless and odorless.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
death or severe injury.
Never start the engine or let it run indoors
or where there is little or no ventilation.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, check the emergency
stop switch lock plate. If the lock plate is not in
position, the engine cannot be started.
