LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is important for the safe,
smooth operation and long life of each working
part of your outboard motor. The following chart
shows the lubrication points of your motor and
the recommended lubricant:
LOCATION
Throttle/Shift linkage
Propeller shaft
Swivel bracket
Steering bracket
NOTE:
Before applying grease through the steering
bracket grease nipple, lock the motor in the fully
tilted up position.
Your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer may also
have additional recommendations due to
regional climate or operating conditions.
Please consult him for advice.

CORROSION PREVENTION
ANODES
The motor is protected from exterior corrosion
by anodes. These anodes control electrolysis
and help prevent corrosion. The anodes will
corrode in place of the parts they are protect-
ing. You should periodically inspect each of the
anodes and replace them when 2/3 of the metal
has corroded away.
In certain areas of the country, the water is
unusually harsh on metal. Additional anti-corro-
sion measures may be helpful under those con-
ditions. Consult your authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer for details.
