MOTOR REMOVAL
If it is necessary to remove the outboard motor
from your boat, we recommend that you ask
your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer to do the
work for you.
MOTOR TRANSPORTING
When transporting the motor, place the motor
either vertically or horizontally.
Vertical transport:
Attach the motor to the carrier by securing
clamp bracket with two sets of transom bolt and
nut.
Never use display stand for transportation of the
motor.
Horizontal transport:
1. Drain the engine oil. Refer to the ENGINE
OIL section.

as follows:
(1) Remove the motor cover.
(2) Tilt the motor fully up.
(3) Pull the drain hose end 1 out.
(4) Loosen the vapor separator drain screw 2
and drain the gasoline into a suitable con-
tainer.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
toxic. It can cause a fire and can be haz-
ardous to people and pets.
Use a proper, safe container to store any
gasoline drained from the outboard
motor. Keep gasoline away from sparks,
flames, people, and pets.
