 OPERATION
Connect the clip to the engine cut–off switch.
Snap the tether cord to a secure place on the
operator’s clothing or life vest — not where it
might tear away instead of activating the stop
switch.
Disconnecting the clip and tether cord will
stop the engine and prevent the boat from be-
coming a runaway if the driver moves beyond
the range of the tether cord. If the tether cord
is too long, it can be shortened by knotting or
looping it. DO NOT cut and retie the tether
cord.
An extra clip is stored on the tiller handle. If
the operator is thrown from the boat, another
person can insert the extra clip in the engine
cut–off switch and start the outboard.
Carefully check the function
of all control and engine systems before
leaving the dock. DO NOT shift the engine
into FORWARD or REVERSE while it is
shut off.

A WARNING
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip off the
engine cut–off switch during normal
boating. The resulting unexpected loss
of forward motion can throw occupants
forward, causing injury.
Keep the tether cord free from obstruc-
tions and entanglements.
At each outing, test the system’s opera-
tion. With the engine running, remove
the clip from the switch by pulling the
tether cord. If the engine does not stop
running, see your Dealer.
