OIL PRESSURE CAUTION SYSTEM
This system operates when the engine lubricat-
ing oil pressure drops below the correct level.
If this system activates, the red OIL lamp will
light and a buzzer will begin a series of beeps.
In addition, when this system is activated at
1000 r/min. or higher, engine speed will auto-
matically be reduced to approximately 1000 r/
min. with REV LIMIT lamp lit.
If you continue to run, the engine will automati-
cally stop 3 minutes after beginning of the
above CAUTION system activation.
NOTE:
In case that the engine is automatically stopped
due to the CAUTION system, the engine can be
started again.
However the CAUTION system will repeatedly
activate until eliminating the cause.
If this system activates, stop the engine imme-
diately, if wind and water conditions make it safe
to do so.
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If
the oil level is correct, consult your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.
WARNING
If you attempt to remove or reinstall the
motor cover while the engine is running,
you may be injured.
To check the oil level, stop the engine and
then remove the motor cover.
COOLING WATER CAUTION SYSTEM
This system is activated when the cylinder wall
temperature is too high due to insufficient water
cooling.
NOTE:
The cooling water caution system will not detect
high combustion chamber temperature caused
by, for example, an oil system malfunction, poor
quality fuel, or spark plugs with an incorrect
heat range.
If this system activates, the red TEMP lamp
will light and the buzzer will begin a series of
beeps. In addition, when this system is acti-
vated at 3000 r/min. or higher, engine speed
will automatically be reduced to approximately
3000 r/min. with REV LIMIT lamp lit.
If you continue to run, the engine will automati-
cally stop 3 minutes after beginning of the
above CAUTION system activation.
NOTICE
Your engine may become severely dam-
aged If you rely on the Oil Pressure Cau-
tion System to indicate the need to add
engine oil.
Check the engine oil level periodically
and add oil as necessary.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with the Oil Pres-
sure Caution System activated can result
in severe engine damage.
If the Oil Pressure Caution System acti-
vates, stop the engine as soon as possi-
ble and add engine oil, if necessary, or
otherwise correct the problem.
