LANYARD STOP SWITCH EXTENSION
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn o the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator’s position (as in accidental ejection
from the operator’s position) to activate the switch. Please refer to your Lanyard
Stop Switch (or similar) section of your manual for all information related to
that safety feature. This documents is NOT a replacement for that section
of your owner’s manual.
With the TROLLMaster being a wireless solution you can move farther than the
standard lanyard length that is provided with a standard Lanyard Stop Switch.
This extension is provided in the package for you to be able to move farther
than the standard 122cm and 152cm (4 and 5 feet). This extension should be
connected to the clip end of the existing stop switch lanyard and the other end
clipped to the operator securely.
There are more robust solutions that can be used in place of the lanyard exten-
sion if so desired. Doing an Internet search of “Wireless Marine Safety Devices”
would direct you to such items available. TROLLMaster does not endorse or
support any one solution.
One other item for safety to keep in mind is the use of the Steering Friction Con-
trol, especially on Tiller Steering outboards. This should be set just high enough
that the engine won’t turn on its own without input from the operator, at any
tilt position. If this is set too low and the operator lets go of the tiller (i.e., to grab
a hat blowing o their head) the engine can turn abruptly and possibly throw
the operator out of the boat.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death due to ejec-
tion from the boat, always attach the emer-
gency safety switch lanyard (with or without
the extension) to the switch & the operator.
In addition always have the outboard steer-
ing friction adjusted as instructed.
