Owner's Manual DT15 Foreword

Thank you for choosing a Suzuki outboard motor. Please read this manual carefully and review it from time to time. It contains important information on safety, operation, and maintenance. A thorough understanding of the information presented in this manual will help you experience safe, enjoyable boating.

It is important that this manual remain with the outboard motor when you sell it. The next owner will need this manual also.

All information in this manual is based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Due to improvements or other changes, there may be discrepancies between this manual and your outboard motor. Suzuki reserves the right to make production changes at any time, without notice and without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes to outboard motor previously built or sold.

Protect and preserve your boating waters and their land access. Never pollute the water or land with oil, gas, or other harmful products. For example, make sure you dispose of used gear oil properly following a gear oil change. Also remember not to Liter. With a little bit of effort, our boating waters can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Suzuki Motor Corporation believes in conservation and protection of Earth's natural resources.

To that end, we encourage every outboard motor owner to recycle, trade in, or properly dispose of, as appropriate, used oil and batteries.

An educated boater will enjoy boating more and will be a safer boater. We recommend that you take a boating safety class. Classes explaining required and recommended equipment for small boats and offering training in good seamanship are conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the U.S. Power Squadron, and many Red Cross chapters. For information on classes in your area, call toll-free 1-800-336-BOAT (-2628). Your state's department of boating and your Suzuki Marine dealer can supply you with additional information on boating safety and regulations, or you can call the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-368-5647.
