NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check
the gear oil level 10 minutes after doing the pro-
cedure in the step 4. If the oil level is low, slowly
inject the gear oil up to the correct level.
V WARNING
Gear oil can cause injury to people or pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with used gear
oil may cause skin cancer. Even brief contact
with used oil may irritate skin.
• Keep new and used oil away from children
and pets.
• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and waterproof
gloves when handling oil.
• Wash with soap if oil contacts your skin.
• Launder any clothing or rags that are wet
with oil.
NOTE:
Recycle or properly dispose of used gear oil.
Do not throw it in the trash, or pour it on the
ground, down a drain, or into the water.
NOTICE
If fishing line wraps around the rotating pro-
peller 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 contami-
nated with water. Immediately contact 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.
