dren and pets.
• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and water-
proof gloves when handling oil.

NOTICE
If fishing line wraps around the rotating
propeller shaft, the propeller shaft oil seal
can become damaged and can allow
water to enter the gear case causing
severe damage.
If the gear oil has a milky color, it is con-
taminated with water. Immediately con-
tact your authorized Suzuki marine dealer
for advice. Do not operate your outboard
until the oil is changed and the cause of
the contamination is corrected.
