If the operation in the above step (2) is performed continuously, it is regarded as a theft or tampering and the main switch operation will not be accepted until a certain period has elapsed.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE
Lower the motor into the water.
If there is a manual fuel tank air-vent, turn the air-vent screw (1) on top of the fuel tank cap fully counterclockwise to open the vent.
When connecting the fuel hose to the portable fuel tank or motor, the fuel may be under pressure and may spray out around the connector, causing serious injury.
Before connecting the fuel hose, loosen and retighten the fuel tank cap once to relieve the fuel pressure in fuel tank.
For handling the fuel tank cap, refer to the “FUEL AND OIL/FILLING FUEL TANK” section in this manual.
SUZUKI genuine portable fuel tanks have a semi-auto air vent.
- Make sure that the motor fuel hose and the hose from the boat’s fuel tank are securely attached and clamped.
- Make sure the motor is in “NEUTRAL”.
- Make sure the lock plate is in place and the emergency stop switch cord is fastened securely to your wrist or appropriate clothing area such as your belt.
Failure to properly attach the emergency stop switch cord or to take proper precautions to help ensure that the emergency stop switch works as intended may result in serious injury or death to the operator or passengers.
Always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the emergency stop switch cord is fastened securely to the operator’s wrist or to an appropriate clothing area (belt etc.).
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or restrict emergency stop switch operation.
• Be careful not to pull the stop switch cord or knock out the lock plate during normal operation. The motor will stop abruptly, and the loss of forward motion may unexpectedly throw occupants forward.
There is a spare plastic lock plate for temporary use only. Remove it from the cord and place in a safe place on the boat. However, the original cord and lock plate should be replaced as soon as possible.
