Owner's Manual
If you attempt to reinstall the ring gear cover or motor cover after starting the engine you can be injured. Do not attempt to reinstall the ring gear cover or motor cover after starting the engine.
When the engine is running, there are many moving parts that could cause severe personal injury. When the engine is running, keep your hands, hair, clothing, etc., away from the engine.
Be sure to have the starter system repaired as soon as possible. You should not continue to use the emergency starting procedure for routine engine starting.
If equipped with Keyless Start System:
EMERGENCY START
One (1) emergency key is included in the remote control box for the Keyless Start System.
In case of Dual Engine: By carrying out the emergency start operation on either one of the engines, another engine may be started by operating the main switch.
If the key-fob is lost or the key-fob battery has run low, the Keyless Start System OFF (locked) state can be released by using the emergency key and entering the 4-digit passcode.
- Turn the main switch (1) to the right about 15° and pull it out.
- Insert the emergency key (2) into the key cylinder.
- Make sure lock plate (3) is in position.
- Turn the emergency key to “ON & OFF” (“ ”) position, and then release it to the “PUSH START/STOP” position. The buzzer emits one (1) long sound and five (5) short sounds.
- Pull out the emergency stop switch lock plate.
- Turn the emergency key to the “ON & OFF” (“ ”) position and hold it until the buzzer sounds.
Turn the emergency key back to the “PUSH START/STOP” position. The system turns to stand-by state for passcode input.
- Take the following steps to enter the passcode.
(1) Turn the main switch to the “ON & OFF” (“ ”) position and then release it. The main switch automatically returns to the “PUSH
START/STOP” position.
(2) The buzzer starts emitting short sounds.
When the buzzer sounds for the same number of times as the 1st digit of the passcode, immediately turn the emergency key to the
“ON & OFF” (“ ”) position, and release it to the “PUSH START/STOP” position.
To enter “0” in the passcode, turn the switch after the buzzer sounds 10 times.
(3) After an 11th long sound, repeat steps 1 and 2 to enter the second, third and fourth passcode digits.
The buzzer emits one (1) short sound for the 1st digit, two (2) short sounds for the 2nd digit, three (3) short sounds for the 3rd digit, and four (4) short sounds for the 4th digit.
If a wrong passcode is entered or the input operation fails, the buzzer emits a long sound after entering the 4th digit followed by three additional beeps, and the operation is cancelled.
• If the passcode input has not been performed, passcode input for the same digit will start again after the main switch is operated.
• The input operation is cancelled if no entry is made after repeating the passcode input operation three (3) times.
The buzzer then sounds three (3) times to notify that the input operation has been cancelled.
• To enter the passcode again after the input operation has been cancelled; repeat the procedure from Step 2.
• The passcode input can be interrupted by installing the lock plate on the emergency stop switch.
(4)Turn the emergency key to the counterclockwise within 10 seconds after entering the 4th digit of the passcode. The buzzer emits two
(2) short sounds when the passcode input is successful, and the engine can then be started.
If the emergency key is not operated within 10 seconds, the buzzer sounds five (5) times followed by another beep, and the input
operation is cancelled. In this case, repeat the procedure beginning at Step 2.
To start the engine:
(5) Install the lock plate 3 on the emergency stop switch.
(6) Make sure the motor is in “NEUTRAL”.
(7) Push the emergency key to start the engine.
Starting of another engine of the Dual Engine: Push the main switch to start the engine.
To stop the engine:
Shift into “NEUTRAL”.
After operating at full throttle, cool off the engine a few minutes by allowing it to idle or troll at low speed.
Push the emergency key to stop the engine.
Stopping of another engine of the Dual Engine: Push the main switch to stop the engine.
- Turn the emergency key to the “ON & OFF” (“ ”) position and then release it to the “PUSH START/STOP” position to turn the Keyless Start System to OFF state. And then, pull out the emergency key from the key cylinder.
The passcode authentication state is maintained for 15 seconds after turning the emergency key to the “PUSH START/STOP”
position. In this state, the engine can be started by turning the emergency key to the left and pressing the main switch. To restart the engine when the 15-second period has elapsed after turning the emergency key to the “PUSH START/STOP” position, repeat the emergency key operation from the beginning.
SHIFTING AND SPEED CONTROL
Severe engine damage may occur if (a) engine speed is not allowed to return to idle and boat speed is not reduced when shifting from “FORWARD” to “REVERSE” or from “REVERSE” to “FORWARD”, or (b) care is not taken when operating the boat in reverse. Always allow the engine speed to return to idle before shifting. Exercise caution and use minimal speed when operating the boat in reverse. Be sure the handle/ shift lever is in the desired position before accelerating.
If you shift gears when the engine is not running, the shifting mechanism can be damaged. Avoid shifting gears when the engine is
not running.
Shifting
To shift into “FORWARD”, squeeze the lock-out lever on the control handle and move the control handle forward to approximate position A,
as shown in the illustration.
To shift into “REVERSE”, squeeze the lock-out lever on the control handle and move the control handle rearward to approximate position B,
as shown in the illustration.
A detent or notch is present on all Suzuki control boxes to provide a “feel” for positions (A), (B), and neutral. Always shift quickly and firmly from neutral to position (A) or (B) to prevent abnormal wear on the gear and clutch engagement surfaces.
