4. Make sure the lock plate is in place and the
emergency stop switch cord is fastened
securely to your wrist or appropriate clothing
area such as your belt.
WARNING
• The emergency stop switch cord
should be fastened securely to the
operator’s wrist or to an appropriate
clothing area (belt etc.). In this way, in
an emergency, or if the operator is
thrown overboard, the detached cord
will stop the motor quickly.
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or
restrict emergency stop switch opera-
tion.
• Take care not to pull the stop switch
cord or knock out the lock plate during
normal operation. The motor will stop
abruptly, and the loss of forward
motion may unexpectedly throw occu-
pants forward.
