MOTOR INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
Never overpower your boat. Do not install an outboard motor that exceeds the maximum horsepower listed on the boat's "Certification Plate". If you are unable to locate the "Certification Plate", consult your authorized Suzuki outboard motor
dealer.
Suzuki strongly recommends that you have your outboard motor, controls and gauges installed by an authorized Suzuki outboard motor dealer. He has the tools and know-how to do the job correctly. If you choose to do the job yourself, you must obtain a copy of the set-up instruction for your outboard motor from your dealer.
Failure to properly install your outboard motor and associated controls and gauges can result in personal injury or damage.
Likewise, if it is necessary to remove the outboard motor from your boat, we recommend that you ask your authorized Suzuki outboard motor dealer to do the work for you.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Suzuki recommends you use a high quality 12 volt, 70 AH or larger battery. Secure the battery in a dry area of the boat, away from vibration.
To hook up the battery, first connect the red lead from the motor to the positive battery terminal, then connect the black lead to the negative battery terminal.
To remove the battery, first disconnect the black lead from the negative terminal, then disconnect the red lead from the positive terminal.
Connecting and disconnecting the battery as described above will help minimize the chance of creating an accidental short circuit and sparks.
Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing, and painted surfaces battery acid comes in contact with any of these, flush immediately with large amounts of water. If acid contacts the eyes or skin, out immediate medical mention.
● If the battery leads are incorrectly connected, the electrical system could be damaged.
● Do not disconnect the battery leads from battery while the engine operation, the electrical parts could be damaged.
