Mooring; Operation In Shallow Water; Operating The Troll Mode (Optional Item) - Suzuki DF250AP Manuel Du Propriétaire

MOORING

The motor should be tilted up out of the water
when you moor the boat in shallow water or if
the motor will not be used for some time, to pro-
tect it from damage by underwater obstacles at
low tide or corrosion from salt water.
Refer to the TILT LEVER section for details on
how to tilt up the motor.
NOTICE
Improperly securing your boat may cause
damage to your boat or motor, or other
property damage.
Do not allow your motor to rub against
quay walls, piers or other boats when the
boat is tied up.

OPERATION IN SHALLOW WATER

When operating your boat in shallow water, it
may be necessary to tilt the motor higher than
the normal trim angle. When you tilt the motor
beyond the normal trim angle, however, you
should only operate the boat at slow speeds.
After returning to deep water, be sure to lower
the motor to the normal trim angle.
To tilt the motor higher than the normal trim
angle, use the Power Trim and Tilt switch.

 WARNING
When the motor is 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 cush-
ion the engine if the lower unit strikes an
obstruction. This could lead to occupant
injury. In addition, beyond the maximum
trim position, the water intake holes may
be above the water line, which can result
in severe engine damage from overheat-
ing.
Do not operate the engine above 1500
r/min or operate the boat in a planning
attitude with the engine beyond the maxi-
mum trim position.
NOTICE
If the motor hits bottom, serious damage
can occur.
Do not allow the motor to hit bottom. If
the motor does strike bottom, inspect it
immediately for damage.
OPERATING THE TROLL MODE
(Optional Item)
Trolling speed can be controlled to install the
optional Troll Mode switch when the appropriate
BCM is used.
Please contact your authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer for more information.
System Outline
The "Troll Mode System" is activated by press-
ing the troll mode switch, when the motor is run-
ning at in-gear idle speed. By using this system,
you can set and maintain a desired engine
speed with the control switch in a range from in-
gear idle speed (approx. 650 rpm) to 1200 rpm.
NOTE:
For the multiple engines:
In-gear idle speed of all engines is controlled at
the same time.
