GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic
and the safety and reliability of the outboard motor.
• To avoid eye injury, always wear protective goggles when filing metals, working on a grinder,
or doing other work, which could cause flying material particles.
• When two or more persons work together, pay attention to the safety of each other.
• When it is necessary to run the outboard motor indoors, make sure that exhaust gas is vented
outdoors.
• When testing an outboard motor in the water and on a boat, ensure that the necessary safety
equipment is on board. Such equipment includes: flotation aids for each person, fire extinguisher, distress signals, anchor, paddles, bilge pump, first-aid kit, emergency starter rope,
etc.
• When working with toxic or flammable materials, make sure that the area you work in is wellventilated and that you follow all of the material manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.
• To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil or exhaust system during or
shortly after engine operation.
• Oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed from contact with oil. Keep new and
used oil away from children and pets. To minimize your exposure to oil, wear a long sleeve
shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet
with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil.
• After servicing fuel, oil/engine cooling system and exhaust system, check all lines and fittings related to the system for leaks.
• Carefully adhere to the battery handling instructions laid out by the battery supplier.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
• If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or their equivalent.
• When removing parts that are to be reused, keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that
they may be reinstalled in the proper order and orientation.
• Be sure to use special tools when instructed.
• Make sure that all parts used in assembly are clean and also lubricated when specified.
• When use of a certain type of lubricant, bond or sealant is specified, be sure to use the specified type.
• When removing the battery, disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive cable.
When reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable.
• When performing service to electrical parts, if the service procedures do not require using
battery power, disconnect the negative cable at the battery.
• Tighten cylinder head and case bolts and nuts, beginning with larger diameter and ending
with smaller diameter. Always tighten from inside to outside diagonally to the specified tightening torque.
• Whenever you remove oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, locking washers, locking nuts,
cotter pins, circlips and certain other parts as specified, always replace them with new. Also,
before installing these new parts, be sure to remove any left over material from the mating
surfaces.
• Never reuse a circlip. When installing a new circlip, take care not to expand the end gap larger
than required to slip the circlip over the shaft. After installing a circlip, always ensure that it is
completely seated in its groove and securely fitted.
• Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the torque values when specified.
Remove grease or oil from screw/bolt threads unless a lubricant is specified.
• After assembly, check parts for tightness and operation.
• To protect the environment, do not unlawfully dispose of used motor oil, other fluids and batteries.

FUEL AND OIL
GASOLINE RECOMMENDATION
Suzuki highly recommends that you use alcohol-free unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump octane rating of 87 (R/2+M/2
method) or 91 (Research method). However, blends of
unleaded gasoline and alcohol with equivalent octane content
may be used.
Allowable maximum blend of a single additive (not combination):
5% Methanol, 10% Ethanol, 15% MTBE
If leaded gasoline is used, engine damage may result.
Use only unleaded gasoline.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
ENGINE OIL
Use only oils that are rated SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ under the API
(American Petroleum Institute) classification system.
The viscosity rating should be SAE 10W-40.
If SAE 10W-40 motor oil is not available, select an alternative
according to the chart at right.
Page 10
1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE BREAK-IN
The first 10 hours are critically important to ensure correct running of either a brand new motor or a motor that has been reconditioned or rebuilt. How the motor is operated during this time
will have direct bearing on its life span and long-term durability.
Break-in period: 10 hours
WARM-UP RECOMMENDATION
Allow sufficient idling time (more than 5 minutes) for the engine
to warm up after cold engine starting.
THROTTLE RECOMMENDATION
NOTE:
Avoid maintaining a constant engine speed for an extended
period at any time during the engine break-in by varying the
throttle position occasionally.
1. FIRST 2 HOURS
For first 15 minutes, operate the engine in-gear at idling
speed.
During the remaining 1 hour and 45 minutes, operate the
engine in-gear at less than 1/2 (half) throttle (3 000 r/min).
NOTE:
The throttle may be briefly opened beyond the recommended
setting to plane the boat, but must be reduced to the recommended setting immediately after planing.
2. NEXT 1 HOUR
Operate the engine in-gear at less than 3/4 (three-quarter)
throttle (4 000 r/min).
3. LAST 7 HOURS
Operate the engine in-gear at desired engine speed.
However, do not operate continuously at full throttle for more
than 5 minutes.
Page 11
PROPELLERS
An outboard motor is designed to develop its rated power within
a specified engine speed range. The maximum rated power
delivered by the DF9.9/15 models are shown below.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-7
Recommended full
throttle speed range
If the standard propeller fails to meet the above requirement,
use another pitch propeller to hold the engine speed within the
range specified above.
Installing a propeller with pitch either too high or too
low will cause incorrect maximum engine speed,
which may result in severe damage to the motor.

IGNITION TIMING CONTROL
Outline
The ignition timing varies based upon engine speed.
The pulser coil monitor current engine speed and send signals to the CDI unit.
Based on this signal, the CDI unit determines the optimum ignition timing and supplies voltage to the primary
winding of the ignition coil.
CDI unit
Basic sensor
Pulser coil :
Informs CDI unit of engine speed and crankshaft angle.
Control mode
When starting (at the time of cranking):
The ignition timing is fixed at ATDC 10° until the engine starts.
When operating (normal operation):
The ignition timing varies in the range of ATDC 5° – BTDC 30° according to the engine operating condition.
Ignition timing is determined by a digital map designed in relation to engine
speed.

OVER-REVOLUTION CAUTION SYSTEM
CONDITION:
The CDI unit controlled over revolution limiter will engage at the engine speeds shown below.
Once engaged it will initiate an intermittent ignition signal to reduce engine speed.
Over revolution limiter: 6 500 r/min
ACTION:
• If the operator decreases engine speed to less than approximately 6 200 r/min within 10 seconds, the
over-revolution caution control will be cancelled.
• If the engine is operated at a speed above 6 500 r/min for more than 10 seconds, the engine speed will be
automatically lowered to approximately 3 000 r/min by intermittent ignition.
• During operation of the over-revolution caution control, the caution lamp is ON.
RESET:
To cancel the over-revolution caution control, close the throttle to reduce the engine speed below approximately 2 500 r/min for more than one second.
NOTE:
In neutral gear, the preset maximum engine speed value before
the over-revolution caution system activates is 4 000 r/min.
In the operation of Neutral gear over-revolution caution system,

ELECTRIC STARTER SYSTEM
OUTLINE
The starting circuit consists of the battery, starting motor, ignition switch (or starter button), neutral switch
and related electrical wiring.
These components are connected electrically as shown in figure below.
STARTING SYSTEM CIRCUIT
In the circuit shown in figure below, the magnetic switch coils are magnetized when the starter button is
closed (Starter button depressed).
The resulting plunger and pinion shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel
gear, the magnetic switch main contacts to close, and engine cranking to take place.
When the engine starts, the pinion over-running clutch protects the armature from excessive speed until the
starter button is opened, at which time the torsion spring causes the pinion to disengage.

• When installing hose clamps (clips), position tabs to
avoid contact with other parts.
• Be sure hoses do not contact rods, levers or other
components with engine either operating or at rest.
• Extreme care should be taken not to cut, abrade or
cause any other damage to hoses.
• Use care not to excessively compress hoses when
tightening clamps.
NOTE:
• Check fuel hose routing. (See page 9-11 and 9-12.)
• Check for fuel leakage.
Page 90
FUEL LEAKAGE CHECK PROCEDURE
After performing any fuel system service, always be sure there
is not fuel leakage by checking as follows.
1. Squeeze fuel primer bulb until you feel resistance.
2. Once pressurized, check all connections and components
for any signs of leakage.
FUEL HOSE CONNECTION
Note that fuel hose connection varies with each type of pipe.
Be sure to connect and clamp each hose correctly by referring to
the figure.
FUEL SYSTEM 4-3
• For type “A” (short barbed end) pipe, hose must completely
cover pipe.
• For type “B” (bent end) pipe, hose must cover straight part of
pipe by 20 – 30mm (0.8 – 1.2 in.).
