NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check

up to the correct level.

WARNING
New and used oil can be hazardous. Chil-
dren and pets may be harmed by swal-
lowing new or used oil. Continuous
contact with used gear oil has been
found to cause skin cancer in laboratory
animals. Brief contact with used oil may
irritate skin.
To minimize your exposure to used oil,
wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-
proof gloves (such as dishwashing
gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts
your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and
water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used oil.
CAUTION
If fishing line should wrap around the
rotating propeller shaft, this may damage
the propeller shaft oil seal allowing water
to enter the gear case causing severe
mechanical damage.
The seal will need to be replaced and the
internal gear case components should be
inspected for damage.
Gear oil contaminated with water will
have a milky color. If you notice any water
in the gear oil, immediately contact your
authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer. Do not
operate until the oil is changed and the
reason for contamination is eliminated.
