Owner's Manual
New and used oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing 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 moistureproof 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.
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.

Your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer may also have additional recommendations due to regional climate or operating conditions.
