NOTE:
If the engine is operated beyond the maximum
trim position, the water intake holes may be
above the water line. In this situation, the cool-
ing water caution system may activate.
CAUTION
• Wind and water conditions permitting,
stop the engine if the caution system
activates. Inspect the engine according
to the above instructions. Consult your
authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer if you
cannot correct the problem. Continuing
to operate with this caution system
activated can result in severe engine
damage.
• Remember that the cooling water cau-
tion system cannot detect overheating
caused by, for example, an oil system
malfunction, poor quality fuel, or incor-
rect spark plugs.
BATTERY VOLTAGE CAUTION SYSTEM
This system is activated when the battery volt-
age deficiency which could impair your motor’s
performance occurs.
If this system activates, the red CHECK
ENGINE lamp will light and buzzer will begin a
series of beep.
This system will be canceled automatically
when the battery voltage restores to the proper
voltage level. Refrain from using any electrical
equipment such as P.T.T. system, hydraulic trim
tabs, hydraulic jack plate, etc.
NOTE:
• A marginal battery may have enough power
to start your engine, yet may still cause this
caution system to activate whenever engine
or boat accessory use places a high current
demand on the battery.
• If this caution system activates continuously,
even after you have stopped using engine or
boat accessories, contact your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.
