LOW PRESSURE FUEL FILTER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and toxic.
• Stop the motor before cleaning the fuel filter.
• Be careful not to spill fuel. If you do, wipe it up immediately.
• Do not smoke, and keep away from open flames and sparks.
Keep cleaning solvent away from children and pets. Dispose of used solvent properly.
Inspect and clean the fuel filter as follows:
- Turn the engine off and allow it to cool.
- Remove the bolts (1) securing the fuel filter cap (2) in place.
- Loosen the ring nut (3) and remove the cup (4).
- Pull out the filter element (5). Inspect the element and the O-rings (6) for damage. If they are damaged, replace them.
- Wash the element with cleaning solvent and dry it.
- Reinstall the element and O-rings in their original positions.
- Screw the ring nut to the cap until the cup is lightly seated.
- Tighten the ring nut approximately an additional 1/4 turn to secure the cup.
- Reinstall the fuel filter cap with the bolts.
- Restart the engine and check that there are no leaks around the fuel filter.
If any water exists in the fuel filter cup, the red ring (7) will float. If so, remove the cup and drain the water. Always dispose of excess fuel safely. For questions, consult your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.
LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is important for the safe, smooth operation and long life of each working part of your outboard motor. The following chart shows the lubrication points of your motor and the recommended lubricant:
Your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer may also have additional recommendations due to regional climate or operating conditions.
Please consult him for advice.
CORROSION PREVENTION
ANODES
The motor is protected from exterior corrosion by anodes. These anodes control electrolysis and help prevent corrosion. The anodes will corrode in place of the parts they are protecting. You should periodically inspect each of the anodes and replace them when 2/3 of the metal has corroded away.
In certain areas of the country, the water is unusually harsh on metal. Additional anti-corrosion measures may be helpful under those conditions. Consult your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer for details.
