CONGRATULATIONS

Suzuki Marine strongly recommends you keep it real by using Genuine Suzuki Marine Parts and Accessories, which are built to the highest standards of quality and performance, and are designed to fit your outboard’s exact specifications.

While non-genuine parts may be available in the market place, the use of these parts and accessories may affect the outboard’s performance and shorten its useful life. Installation of non-genuine parts and accessories may void any separate warranty which you may be able to claim from Suzuki Motor Corporation, as well as void this warranty and any other warranty to which you may otherwise be entitled.

DEALER PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION CHECKLIST

DEALER PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION CHECKLIST


Motul is a specialist oil company that concentrates exclusively on manufacturing performance oils. Since 1853, Motul has been designing and blending special oils for everyday use that give high performance as standard, so you can use the same oil as race engines use, off-the-shelf.

Why does Suzuki choose Motul?

The world’s best 4-stroke deserves the world’s best oil and Motul offers the right blend of lubricants to give the required protection to the Suzuki outboard range. Motul has had over 20 years technical partnership with Suzuki high performance engines combining the best engineering brains for technical development.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) recommends FC-WTM oil for outboards and this has been verified and approved by Suzuki Marine, Japan.

Why should you choose Motul?

Choosing Suzuki Motul oil will mean less wear in your engine. The anti-corrosion properties mean that the oil clings to the internal working parts of your engine which protects them. When you drop your oil each service, the oil will be in better condition and so will your engine. Protect your investment with Suzuki Motul.

FC-WTM background

• Meets specifications for emission and fuel economy targeted by NMMA.

• Satisfies engine testing for dedicated marine outboard applications.

• Simulates real engine operation to check whether oils can sustain film thickness.

• Reflects actual marine outboard engine operation in the specification of FC-W.

• More focus on marine engine design, corrosion protection with salty water.

• Sustainable capability of oil film thickness.

SUZUKI MARINE OILS

GENERAL WARRANTY CONDITIONS


GENERAL WARRANTY CONDITIONS (CONTINUED)

COMPLETION OF WARRANTY CARD In order to the benefit from the complete Outboard Motor Warranty Period of any warranty offered by The Haines Assurance Program in this document, the yellow dealer’s copy of the Owner/s & Outboard Details Registration Form (“the Registration Form”) must be completed and submitted to The Haines Assurance Program electronically (by the dealer) immediately upon delivery of the outboard to you.

You and the dealer are responsible to ensure the Registration Form has been completed and submitted to The Haines Assurance Program.

AUSTRALIA: (07) 3271 4400

NEW ZEALAND: 0508 6882 6273

The Dealership will carry out an inspection of the outboard before submitting an electronic warranty claim to us setting out the details of the claim.

The Dealership may require you to provide the following details before the electronic warranty claim is submitted:

§ A detailed description of the issue and/or complaint giving rise to your warranty claim

§ Your name, address and contact phone number (include the best time to contact you during business hours AEST)

§ The model and serial number of your outboard

§ Boat make and size

§ Propeller pitch (size)

§ Present hours of operation

§ Normal use and approximate gross load

§ Date of purchase of outboard

§ Oil usage and type if known

§ Your dealer’s name and location

§ Last date of service

§ Plus any other details which you consider are relevant to your claim.

OBTAINING WARRANTY COVERAGE


REMOVING THE OUTBOARD FROM THE BOATSmaller model outboards can be removed from the boat for security, storage and service purposes. When the outboard is removed from the boat, it must be stowed in an upright position until all water from the cooling and water pump system has drained. This will reduce the possibility of water entering the cylinder through the exhaust ports or valves.

Always store the outboard in the upright position so that the power head is higher than the lower transmission.

OUTBOARD SECURITY LINE ATTACHMENT On selected smaller model outboards, there is a security line attachment point on the transom clamp. It is recommended that a securing line (not included), be fixed to the boat’s transom and the clamp of the outboard to prevent the loss of the outboard, should the outboard be detached from the boat’s transom for the following reasons:

§ Boat transom structural failure.

§ Failure to mount the outboard securely.

§ Failure to periodically check the clamp screws for tightness.

§ Striking an underwater obstacle at high speed.

CAUTION – ENSURE THAT THE SECURITY LINE IS OF ADEQUATE LENGTH

Ensuring that the security line is of adequate length is your sole responsibility. If the outboard was to dislodge from the transom of the boat, a security line that is not long enough to allow the outboard to submerge and stop running may cause the outboard to rebound back into the boat and possibly cause injury to the boat’s occupants.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR OUTBOARD IS STOLEN If your outboard motor has been stolen, your first point of contact should be the Police. Supply key information such as model type, outboard serial number and your contact details. You should then contact your local Authorised Suzuki Marine Dealer. Once the information has been received, an alert will be sent to all Authorised Suzuki Marine Dealers within Australia or New Zealand with “A stolen outboard bulletin”. This may aid in the recovery of your stolen outboard.

GENERAL TIPS AND ADVICE


SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD (CONTINUED)

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE POLICY

1. PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION SERVICE

The Pre-delivery Inspection is provided by an Authorised Suzuki Marine Dealer before you take delivery of your new Suzuki outboard to ensure that you enjoy safe and reliable operation of your new outboard.

2. PERIODIC SERVICE

To maintain the reliability and prolong the life of your new Suzuki outboard, periodic maintenance should be carried out by an Authorised Suzuki Marine Dealer according to the periodic maintenance schedule described in the Owner’s Manual and at the Service Record pages here in.

3. DAILY INSPECTION AND DAILY CARE

Daily inspection and general care for your outboard is described in the applicable Suzuki Owner’s Manual for the model purchased. It is important to adhere to the points detailed in the manual as it will assist in prolonging the life of your outboard and for safe boating.

Checklist

SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD


4. NON-SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICING

Outlined in your Owner’s Manual are the scheduled servicing requirements for your outboard. In some circumstances your outboard may operate in severe conditions where high-speed operation is required or the operating conditions are harsh.

Where these situations may occur, contact the Service Department of your Authorised Suzuki Marine Dealer as they will be able to provide you with a service schedule to suit your outboard’s specific operating requirements.

5. GENERAL CLEANING & CARE OF YOUR NEW SUZUKI OUTBOARD

a. After using your Suzuki outboard in salt water, it is important to flush the motor with fresh water. The procedure for flushing your outboard is detailed in the Suzuki Owner’s Manual.

b. When washing your Suzuki outboard after use, use a mild soap wash or detergent with fresh water to remove all salt and grime from the outboard.

NOTE: AVOID WETTING UNDER THE OUTBOARD COVER

c. If the paint has been scratched or damaged during use, carefully touch up the affected area with genuine Suzuki paint available from your Authorised Suzuki Marine Dealer.

We recommend the use of Genuine Suzuki Marine Parts and Accessories

Failure to adhere to the above-mentioned recommendations will void your outboard’s warranty.
