FUEL AND OIL

GASOLINE

Suzuki highly recommends that you use alcohol-free unleaded gasoline whenever possible, with a minimum octane rating of 94 (Research method). However, blends of unleaded gasoline and alcohol with equivalent octane content may be used, provided the guidelines that follow are met.

NOTICE

Use of leaded gasoline can cause engine damage. Use of improper or poor quality fuel can affect performance and may damage your motor and fuel system.

Use only unleaded gasoline. Do not use fuel having lower than the recommended octane, or fuel that may be stale or contaminated by dirt/water etc.

NOTE:

Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain oxygen-carrying additives such as alcohol.

Suzuki recommends that you install a water-separating fuel filter assembly between your boat's fuel tank(s) and outboard motor(s). Fuel filtration systems of this type will help prevent water that may be present in your boat's fuel tank(s) from contaminating your motor's electronic fuel injection system. Water contamination can cause poor engine performance and can also cause damage to the electronic fuel injection system components.

Your Authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer can provide you advice about water-separating fuel filter systems and installation.

Gasoline/Ethanol Blends

Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as “GASOHOL”, are commercially available in some areas. Blends of this type may be used in your outboard motor if they are no more than 10% ethanol. Make sure this gasoline-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for gasoline.

Use the recommended gasoline which conforms to the following labels.

E5 or E10

78RB0900

Pump Labeling for Gasoline/Alcohol Blends

In some states, pumps that dispense gasoline/ alcohol blends are required to be labeled for the type and percentage of alcohol content, and whether important additives are present. Such labels may provide enough information for you to determine if a particular blend of fuel meets the requirements listed above. In other states, pumps may not be clearly labeled as to the content or type of alcohol and additives. If you are not sure that the fuel you intend to use meets these requirements, check with the service station operator or the fuel suppliers.

NOTE:

If you are not satisfied with the operation or fuel economy of your outboard motor when you are using gasoline/alcohol blends, you should switch back to unleaded gasoline containing no alcohol.

Be sure that any gasoline/alcohol blend you use has octane ratings of at least 94 octane (Research method).

If engine pinging is experienced, substitute another brand as there are differences between brands.

Unleaded gasoline will extend spark plug life.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and toxic. It can cause a fire and can be hazardous to people and pets.

Always take the following precautions when refueling:

• Never permit anyone other than an adult to refill the fuel tank.
• If you use a portable fuel tank, always stop the motor and remove the fuel tank from the boat to refill it.
• Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to the top or fuel may overflow when it expands due to heating by the sun.
• Be careful not to spill fuel. If you do, wipe it up immediately.
• Do not smoke, and keep away from open flames and sparks.

NOTICE

Gasoline kept in the fuel tank for long periods of time will produce varnish and gum, which can damage the engine.

Always use fresh gasoline.

NOTICE

Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under the New Outboard Motor Limited Warranty.

Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up immediately.

ENGINE OIL

NOTICE

Use of poor quality engine oil can adversely affect engine performance and life.

Suzuki recommends that you use Suzuki Marine 4-Cycle Engine Oil or its equivalent.

Oil quality is a major contributor to your engine's performance and life. Always select good quality engine oil.

Suzuki recommends the use of SAE 10W-40 or 10W-30 SUZUKI MARINE 4-CYCLE ENGINE OIL. If SUZUKI MARINE 4-CYCLE ENGINE OIL is not available, select a NMMA certified FC-W oil or good quality 4-cycle motor oil from the following chart according to the average temperatures in your area.

NOTE:

In very cold weather (below 5^ C ( 41^ F)), use SAE (or NMMA FC-W) 5W-30 for easier starting and smooth operation.

PROPELLER SELECTION AND INSTALLATION

IDENTIFICATION OF LOWER UNIT ROTATION AND PROPELLER TYPE SELECTION

WARNING

If a right hand rotation propeller is installed on a counter rotation lower unit, or a left hand rotation propeller on a regular rotation lower unit, the boat could go in the opposite direction expected, which could lead to an accident.

Do not use a right hand rotation propeller with a counter rotation lower unit or a left hand rotation propeller with a regular rotation lower unit.

The lower unit rotation of this product can be chosen between regular rotation and counter rotation.

When shift into forward gear, the propeller shaft of regular rotation lower unit rotates clockwise, while the counter rotation lower unit rotates counterclockwise as viewed from behind.

Before installing the propeller, confirm the lower unit rotation type.

It is necessary to match the installed propeller type to the lower unit type.

Install a right hand rotation propeller with regular rotation lower unit, or left hand rotation propeller with counter rotation lower unit.

Please contact your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer for more detail.

To identify the lower unit rotation type:

1. Remove the motor cover.

2. Confirm the rotation select connector located near the engine oil filter as shown in figure.

In regular rotation lower unit and counter rotation lower unit, rotation select connector differ from the other as follow:

- For Regular rotation lower unit:

A blue rotation select connector ② will be found and there is a label "REGULAR" ① on the connector.

- For Counter rotation lower unit:

A white rotation select connector ④ will be found and there is a label "COUNTER" ③ on the connector.

PROPELLER SELECTION

It is essential to use a propeller on your outboard motor that is properly matched to your boat's operating characteristics. The speed of the engine when you operate your boat at full throttle depends on the propeller you use.

Excessive engine speed can seriously damage the motor, while low engine speed at full throttle will adversely affect the performance. Your operating load will also affect propeller selection. Smaller loads generally require larger-pitch propellers; larger loads generally require smaller-pitch propellers. Your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer will assist you in selecting a suitable propeller for your boat.

NOTICE

Installing a propeller with either too much or too little pitch will cause incorrect maximum engine speed, which may result in severe damage to the motor.

Ask your authorized Suzuki marine dealer to assist you in selecting a suitable propeller for your boat.

You can determine if your propeller is appropriate for use with your boat by using a tachometer to measure engine speed when operating your boat at full throttle, under minimum load conditions. If you are using an appropriate propeller, the engine speed will be within the following range:

Full throttle operating range	DF250AP	5500 – 6100 r/min. (min ^-1 )
	DF300AP	5700 – 6300 r/min. (min ^-1 )

If the engine speed is not within this range, consult your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer to determine which propeller size is best for you.

PROPELLER INSTALLATION

WARNING

Failure to take proper precautions when installing or removing the propeller can result in severe personal injury.

When installing or removing the propeller:

• Always shift into "Neutral" and remove the emergency stop switch lock plate so that the motor cannot be started accidentally.
• Wear gloves to protect hands, and "lock" the propeller by placing a block of wood between the blades and the anti-cavitation plate.

To install a propeller on your outboard motor, use the following procedure:

Diagram of a car interior with numbered parts for identification

1. Coat the propeller shaft splines ① liberally with Suzuki water resistant grease to help prevent corrosion.
2. Place the stopper ② on the shaft.
3. Align the propeller ③ with the propeller shaft splines and slide the propeller onto the shaft.
4. Place the spacer ④ and washer ⑤ on the shaft.
5. Install the propeller nut ⑥ and tighten it with a torque wrench to 50 - 60 N·m (5.0 - 6.0 kg·m/36.0 - 43.5 lb·ft).
6. Insert the cotter pin ⑦ and bend it so that it can't come off.

To remove the propeller, reverse the above procedure.

ADJUSTMENT

TRIM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

To help maintain steering stability and good performance, always maintain the proper trim angle as shown in the illustration. The appropriate trim angle varies depending on the combination of the boat, engine, and propeller, as well as operating conditions.

Trim range Tilt range

WARNING

Trim angle greatly affects steering stability. If the trim angle is too small, the boat may "plow" or "bow steer". If the trim angle is too large, the boat may "chine walk" from side to side or "porpoise" up and down. These conditions, which result in loss of steering control, can cause occupants to be thrown overboard.

Always maintain proper trim angle based on the combination of your boat, engine, and propeller, as well as operating conditions.

WARNING

When the motor is tilted beyond the maximum trim position, the swivel bracket will not have side support from the clamp bracket and the tilt system will be unable to cushion the engine if the lower unit strikes an obstruction. This could lead to occupant injury.

Do not operate the engine above 1500 r/min or operate the boat in a planing attitude with the motor tilted beyond the maximum trim position.

NOTICE

If you operate the boat with the motor trimmed beyond the maximum trim position, the water intake holes may be above the water line, causing severe engine damage due to overheating.

Never operate the boat with the motor trimmed beyond the maximum trim position.

Make a test run in the boat to determine if the trim angle needs to be adjusted. Adjust the trim angle using the Power Trim and Tilt system. Refer to the POWER TRIM AND TILT section.

If you still cannot achieve good performance, there may be a problem with engine mounting height. Consult your dealer for assistance.

TRIM TAB ADJUSTMENT

This adjustment is used to compensate for the possible tendency of your boat to veer slightly to port or starboard. This tendency could be due to such things as propeller torque, motor mounting position, etc.

To adjust the trim tab:

1. Loosen the bolt Ⓐ that holds the trim tab in place.

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with labeled component A and parts of a vehicle or engine component.

1. If the boat tends to veer to port, move the rear end of the trim tab toward the port side. If the boat tends to veer to starboard, move the starboard side.

Two identical line drawings of a propeller with directional arrows, no text or symbols present.

1. Tighten the bolt that holds the trim tab in place.

After adjusting the trim tab, check to see if the boat still tends to veer to one side. If necessary, readjust the trim tab.

CONTROL HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

The control handle friction and control handle detent force can be adjusted to suit operator's preference. The control handle friction adjustment will change the overall effort to move the control handle. This will help prevent undesired movement of the control handle in rough water conditions. Consult your authorized Suzuki marine dealer to adjust the control handle friction and detent force.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed has been factory adjusted between 600 – 700 r/min in neutral.

NOTE:

If idle speed cannot be set within the specified range, contact your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.

MOTOR COVER FASTENING ADJUSTMENT

If you feel motor cover fastening is loose or too tight when locking the levers, adjust as follows:

1. Loosen the bolts ①, ② and ③.
2. Adjust the position of fasteners ④, ⑤ and ⑥. To increase the fastening, move the fasteners to the direction A. To decrease the fastening, move the fasteners to the direction B.
3. Tighten the bolts.
