MOTOR REMOVAL AND TRANSPORTING
MOTOR REMOVAL
If it is necessary to remove the outboard motor from your boat, we recommend that you ask your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer to do the work for you.
MOTOR TRANSPORTING
When transporting the motor, place the motor either vertically or horizontally.
Vertical transport:
Attach the clamp bracket to a stand by securing two transom bolts.
Horizontal transport:
Drain the engine oil. Refer to the ENGINE OIL section.
Drain the gasoline from the vapor separator as follows:
(1)Remove the motor cover.
(2)Loosen the air vent screw 1.
(3)Loosen the vapor separator drain screw 2 and drain the gasoline into a suitable container.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and toxic. It can cause a fire and can be hazardous to people and pets.
Use a proper, safe container to store any gasoline drained from the outboard
motor. Keep gasoline away from sparks, flames, people, and pets
(4)After draining, retighten the screws 1 and 2.
3. Rest the motor on a case protector with the port side downwards as shown.
If you are not careful when resting the outboard on its side and do not take proper precautions such as first draining the engine oil and cooling water completely, damage can occur. Engine oil may enter the cylinder from the sump,
water may enter the cylinder through the exhaust port, or the outer casings may be
damaged.
Always drain the engine oil and cooling water completely before laying the motor
on its side, and be careful laying the motor down
If you let the lower unit of your outboard sit higher than the power head during transporting or storing, water may trickle into the power head, causing damage to the engine.
Never let the lower unit sit higher than the power head when transporting or storing your outboard
