USE OF ELECTRICAL
ACCESSORIES
To use electrical accessories, you must pur-
chase a 35 AH or larger battery, rectifier and
related items. (Recoil starter model only).
The amount of power (DC12V) available for
accessories, however, depends on the operat-
ing condition of the motor. For getting a detailed
information, please inquire of your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.
NOTE:
Use of too much power for electrical accesso-
ries under certain operating conditions can
cause the battery to discharge.
NOTE:
On the models equipped with a receptacle,
detach the charging cord from the receptacle
and fit the cap to prevent water entry when not
using power supply.
NOTICE
If you connect electrical accessories directly
to the power receptacle of the motor, the elec-
trical accessories could be damaged.
Connect lights and electrical accessories for
the boat to the battery. Consult your autho-
rized Suzuki marine dealer for information
about correct wiring.
BATTERY CHARGE
CUTOUT SYSTEM
(DF9.9BE/15AE/20AE)
This system activates when the battery voltage
drops to less than 6 volts while the engine is
running.
The battery charging circuit is open while the
system is activated.
All the charging current from the rectifier/regula-
tor is then used to power the engine control
system.
NOTE:
• Charging current will not flow from the recti-
fier/regulator to the battery while this system
is activated.
• When the system is activated the starter
motor will not operate because the battery
voltage is too low.
Check the battery condition and re-charge
the battery if necessary.
WARNING
Failure to take proper precautions when
inspecting or servicing the battery can be haz-
ardous.
Do not attempt to inspect or service the bat-
tery without first reading the warnings, cau-
tions, and instructions in the “BATTERY
INSTALLATION” section of this manual.
