NOTICE
Continuing to operate your outboard
motor with the Caution System activated
could result in severe damage to your
outboard motor.
If the caution lamp remains lit after start-
ing the engine, check the engine oil level
and add oil if necessary. If the oil level is
correct, consult your authorized Suzuki
marine dealer.
Cooling water check
As soon as the engine starts, water should
spray out of the pilot water hole 1, indicating
that the water pump and cooling system are
working properly. If you notice that water does
not spray out of the pilot water hole, stop the
engine as soon as possible and consult your
authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.
NOTICE
Never operate your outboard motor when
there is no water coming out of the pilot
water hole, or severe damage can result.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that there is water coming out of the
pilot water hole.
 WARNING
Operating the boat when the emergency
stop switch is not operating properly can
be hazardous.
Before starting off, check to make sure
that the emergency stop switch operates
properly.
EMERGENCY STARTING
NOTE:
The electric starter models are equipped with a
recoil starter as the back-up system for emer-
gency starting. Therefore, an additional emer-
gency starter rope is not provided. If the recoil
starter is used for routine starting of the electric
starter models, you must obtain a piece of rope
to keep in the tool kit, so you can use the follow-
ing procedure to start the engine in an emer-
gency.
If you must get the engine running, but are
unable to do so because of recoil starter failure,
you can use the emergency starting procedure
to start the engine.
 WARNING
If you touch electrical components when
rope-starting the engine, you can get a
severe electrical shock.
When rope-starting the engine, be careful
not to touch electrical components such
as ignition coils or spark plug leads.
To start the engine when the recoil starter
fails:
1. Make sure that the motor is in "NEUTRAL"
and the emergency stop switch lock plate is
removed.
