MOTOR INSTALLATION
EMISSION-RELATED INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel lines and fuel tanks used for a vessel must
meet the requirements of federal law (40 CFR
1045.112 and 40 CFR 1060).
lf you install the engine in a way that makes the
engine’s emission control information label hard
to read during normal engine maintenance, you
must place a duplicate label on the vessel, as
described in 40 CFR 1068.105.
Failing to follow these instructions when
installing a certified engine in a vessel vio-
lates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105(b)), sub-
ject to fines or other penalties as described
in the Clean Air Act.
MOTOR INSTALLATION
NOTE:
It is against federal regulations for any marine
dealer to service a motor that exceeds the rec-
ommended maximum horsepower for your
boat.
Suzuki strongly recommends that you have
your outboard motor, controls and gauges
installed by your authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer. He has the tools, the facilities and the
know-how.
WARNING
Overpowering your boat can be hazard-
ous. Excessive horsepower will have an
adverse effect on hull safety and may
cause operating/handling difficulties. The
boat may also sustain stress and hull
damage.
Never install an outboard motor with
horsepower exceeding the manufac-
turer’s recommended maximum horse-
power listed on the boat’s “Certification
Plate”. Contact your authorized Suzuki
marine dealer if you are unable to locate
the hull “Certificate Plate”.
SELECTION OF LOWER UNIT ROTATION
Lower unit of this product can be used for both
regular rotation or counter rotation without
changing itself
.
The motor will be shipped as regular rotation
specification from the factory.
To change the rotation from regular rotation to
counter, the rotation select connector located
near the fuse case should be changed from the
original one to the optional counter select one.
To return it to regular rotation, use the original
connector again.
Please contact your authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer for details.
NOTE:
The selection of lower unit rotation closely
relates to the selection of the propeller type.
Confirm the lower unit rotation of the motor
before installing the propeller.
For propeller type selection, refer to the section
of “IDENTIFICATION OF LOWER UNIT ROTA-
TION AND PROPELLER TYPE SELECTION”.
WARNING
Failure to have your outboard motor and
associated controls and gauges properly
installed can result in personal injury or
damage.
Suzuki strongly recommends that you
have your outboard motor, controls and
gauges installed by your authorized
Suzuki marine dealer. He has the tools,
the facilities, and the know-how to do the
job correctly.
