Cooling Water Caution System - Suzuki DF25 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If
the oil level is correct, consult your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.
NOTICE
Your engine may become severely dam-
aged If you rely on the Oil Pressure Cau-
tion System to indicate the need to add
engine oil.
Check the engine oil level periodically
and add oil as necessary.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with the Oil Pres-
sure Caution System activated can result
in severe engine damage.
If the Oil Pressure Caution System acti-
vates, stop the engine as soon as possi-
ble and add engine oil, if necessary, or
otherwise correct the problem.

COOLING WATER CAUTION SYSTEM

This system is activated when the cylinder wall
temperature is too high due to insufficient water
cooling.
NOTE:
The cooling water caution system will not detect
high combustion chamber temperature caused
by, for example, an oil system malfunction, poor
quality fuel, or spark plugs with an incorrect
heat range.
If this system activates, the caution lamp will
light. On the remote control model, the buzzer
in the remote control box will simultaneously
begin a series of beeps. When this system is
activated at 2000 r/min. or higher, engine speed
will automatically be reduced to approximately
2000 r/min.
If the cooling water caution system activates
when operating, reduce engine speed immedi-
ately and check to see if water is being dis-
charged from the pilot water hole. If no water is
seen, follow the procedures outlined below.
24
Water and wind conditions permitting, stop the
motor, tilt it out of the water and remove any
debris like seaweed, plastic bags or sand that
may have blocked the water intakes.
Lower the motor into the water, being sure that
water intakes are immersed, and restart it.
Check (A) that water discharges from the pilot
hole and (B) that the caution lamp is no longer
lit.
Be aware that the caution lamp may light again
if engine temperature rises abnormally. If either
of the above situations arises, your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer must be consulted as
soon as possible.
NOTE:
If pilot hole water discharge is sufficient, the
caution lamp (and buzzer) may still operate until
engine temperature decreases. Run the engine
in NEUTRAL only until the caution systems are
cancelled.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with the Cooling
Water Caution System activated can
result in severe engine damage.
If the Cooling Water Caution System acti-
vates, stop the engine as soon as possi-
ble, wind and
permitting, and inspect the engine
according to the above instructions. Con-
sult your authorized Suzuki marine dealer
if you cannot correct the problem.
NOTE:
If the engine is operated beyond the maximum
trim position, the water intake holes may be
above the water line. In this situation, the cool-
ing water caution system may activate.
