CANCELLATION
Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
Pull out the emergency stop switch plate (10.
Pull up the emergency stop switch knob (2) three times in 10 seconds. A short beep will be heard if the cancellation is successfully finished.
Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position.
Set the plate 1 in the original position.
• Canceling of the system activation is possible regardless of whether or not the engine oil has been replaced. Once the system has operated, however, Suzuki strongly recommends that the engine oil be replaced before canceling the system activation.
• Even if the engine oil has been replaced with the system not operating, it is still necessary to perform the cancellation.
OPERATION OF TILTING SYSTEMS
POWER TRIM AND TILT
The “Power Trim and Tilt” is operated by pressing the switch. To tilt the motor up, press the upper part of the switch. To tilt the motor down, press the lower part of the switch.
The power trim and tilt (PTT) switch can be activated when the ignition key is off.
Keep all persons away from the outboard motor to help prevent accidental use of the PTT system.
TILT LIMITER CAM
If the outboard motor contacts the motor well of the boat while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit maximum tilt position.
Place the motor in the normal running position.
Rotate the tilt limiter cam:
To reduce the amount of tilt, move the tab (A) of cam upward.
To increase the amount of tilt, move the tab (A) of cam downward.
- To check your adjustment, tilt the motor fully up to check for motor contact.
Adjust further if necessary.
Return the motor to the normal running position for each adjustment, and repeat your check after each adjustment.
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will not prevent the outboard motor from tilting fully up and contacting the motor well if the motor’s lower unit hits an object at high speed. Such tilting and contact could damage your motor and boat and injure boat occupants. Keep all boat occupants away from the motor when operating at high speed.
MANUAL TILTING
If you are unable to tilt the motor using the “Power Trim and Tilt” because of an electrical problem or some other problem, you can move the motor manually. To tilt the motor up or down, turn the manual release screw (A) two turns counterclockwise, move the motor to the desired position, then retighten the release screw.
The motor is very heavy. Ensure that your grip and footing are secure and that you are able to support the weight of the motor.
TILT LEVER
The Tilt Lever is provided so you can support the motor in a tilted position for non-moving engine support.
To set the Tilt Lever:
Tilt the motor all the way up using the Power Trim and Tilt.
Pull down the Tilt Lever as shown in the illustration.
Lower the motor using the Power Trim and Tilt, until the motor is supported by the Tilt Lever.
To release the Lever, tilt the motor all the way up using the Power Trim and Tilt, and pull up the Tilt Lever.
• The remote Power Trim and Tilt switch will work when the ignition is off. To avoid injuring your hand while you are moving the tilt lever, keep all persons away from the remote Power Trim and Tilt switch.
• The tilt lever relieves pressure from the power trim and tilt and should be used only when boat is moored or otherwise stationary. Do not use the tilt lever when trailering your boat and motor.
Refer to the TRAILERING section.
INSPECTION BEFORE BOATING
To ensure the safety of all occupants, always conduct the following inspection before beginning your trip.
It is important to make sure that your boat and motor are in good condition and that you are properly prepared for an emergency.
Always perform the following checks before you begin boating:
Check that you have enough fuel for the intended run.
Check the level of engine oil in the sump.
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
To check the oil level:
To avoid an incorrect assessment of engine oil level, check the level only when the engine has cooled.
- Place the motor in a vertical position, then remove the motor cover (1) by unlocking the lever (2) and (3).
