and stopping the engine.
OPERATION OF IGNITION INTERRUPT SWITCH.
STEP 1. Before each motor start, check that the Lanyard Fork Clip is
properly seated over the switch and rotates freely.
STEP 2. Inspect the lanyard. If it is cut, worn or frayed, it must be
replaced.
STEP 3. Start the engine.
STEP 4. Test the switch by pulling the lanyard fork clip free from the
switch. The engine should stop.
If engine fails to stop, recheck all wiring. Should the engine fail to
start or stop, or resume running with the lanyard fork removed,
consult your local marine dealer for assistance. Do not change the
length of the lanyard or use another manufacturer’s lanyard on this
interrupt switch. Either may affect switch operation. Misuse,
misapplication, unauthorized modications, or incorrect installation
of this safety devise could result in serious bodily injury or death.
