The Suzuki DF250AP outboard engine is recommended to use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 (RON 91).
It is recommended to change the engine oil every 100 hours of operation or at least once per year, whichever comes first.
To winterize the DF250AP, flush the engine with fresh water, drain the fuel system, change the oil, and apply fogging oil to the cylinders. Store the engine in a dry place.
Check for blocked water intakes, ensure the water pump is functioning properly, inspect the thermostat, and verify that the cooling system is free of debris.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level, inspecting the propeller, cleaning the fuel filter, checking the battery, and inspecting the spark plugs.
To reset the maintenance reminder, turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, press and hold the mode button until the maintenance icon flashes, then release and press the button again.
Check for fuel delivery issues, inspect the air filter for blockages, ensure the fuel tank vent is open, and verify that there is no water in the fuel.
The correct spark plug gap for the DF250AP is 0.8 to 0.9 mm (0.031 to 0.035 inches).
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure the engine is properly maintained, use the recommended fuel, avoid overloading the boat, and operate the engine at optimal RPMs.
For the first 10 hours, avoid full-throttle operation. Vary the engine speed and avoid continuous operation at full throttle. After 10 hours, operate as desired.
