ENGINE EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH AND LANYARD
The engine emergency stop switch controls the engine
ignition ON/OFF. This safety device shuts the engine off
immediately and prevents the boat from becoming a
runaway if the operator is accidentally thrown from the
seat or away from the helm.
Whenever the boat’s engine is on, physically secure
one end of the emergency engine stop switch lanyard
to the emergency stop switch and the other to the boat
operator. If the operator is thrown from the seat or
moves too far from the helm, the lanyard will
disconnect from the switch, activating the switch to
turn off the engine.
Control Hazard: Never remove or modify the engine
emergency stop switch and/or lanyard.
• Always check the switch for proper operation. With the engine
running, pull the lanyard. If the engine does not stop, have the switch
repaired before continuing to operate the boat. Never operate the
boat if the engine emergency stop switch does not work.
• Attach the engine stop switch cord lanyard to a secure place on your
clothing, your arm or leg while operating.
• Avoid accidentally pulling the cord lanyard during normal operation.
Loss of engine power means loss of most steering control. Also,
without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause
people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
• DO NOT attach the cord lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. DO
NOT route the cord lanyard where it could become entangled,
preventing it from functioning.
NEUTRAL START SAFETY SWITCH (START-IN-GEAR PREVENTION)
The neutral start safety switch provides start-in-gear prevention. The switch
controls power to the engine starter circuit of the ignition switch. The engine gear
shift control lever must be in the NEUTRAL position to allow the ignition switch to
activate the engine starter. This safety device will prevent the boat’s engine from
starting if the engine is in gear.
