ENGINE EMERGENCY SAFETY
STOP SWITCH
The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator
whenever the engine is running. Attempting to override this
system may result in death or serious injury!
Purpose
The engine emergency safety stop
switch, which is attached to a lanyard,
is an ignition cut-o switch designed to
stop the engine in the event the operator
is thrown or moves away from the helm.
The lanyard is equipped with a hook
on one end that should be attached to
your clothing or PFD, and the opposite
end has a slide that fits over the ignition
switch. Be sure that the slide is firmly
attached to the ignition switch before
starting the engine.
Location
The engine emergency safety stop connection is located near the
throttle control box on the armrest. If the slide is left o or is loose,
the engine will crank but will not start. Operators should NEVER
attempt to override this safety system!
Troubleshooting
If the lanyard between the engine emergency safety stop
becomes unattached from the connection point, the engine will
shut down. Reattach the engine emergency safety stop and
restart the engine.
