LANYARD STOP SWITCH EXTENSION
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn o the engine when the
operator moves far enough away from the operator’s position (as in acci-
dental ejection from the operator’s position) to activate the switch. Please
refer to your Lanyard Stop Switch (or similar) section of your manual for
all information related to that safety feature. This documents is NOT a
replacement for that section of your owner’s manual.
With the TROLLMaster being a wireless solution you can move farther
than the standard lanyard length that is provided with a standard Lanyard
Stop Switch. This extension is provided in the package for you to be able
to move farther than the standard 122cm and 152cm (4 and 5 feet). This
extension should be connected to the clip end of the existing stop switch
lanyard and the other end clipped to the operator securely.
There are more robust solutions that can be used in place of the lanyard
extension if so desired. Doing an Internet search of “Wireless Marine
Safety Devices” would direct you to such items available. TROLLMaster
does not endorse or support any one solution.
One other item for safety to keep in mind is the use of the Steering Fric-
tion Control, especially on Tiller Steering outboards. This should be set
just high enough that the engine won’t turn on its own without input
from the operator, at any tilt position. If this is set too low and the opera-
tor lets go of the tiller (i.e., to grab a hat blowing o their head) the engine
can turn abruptly and possibly throw the operator out of the boat.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death due to ejection from
the boat, always attach the emergency safety switch
lanyard (with or without the extension) to the switch
& the operator. In addition always have the outboard
steering friction adjusted as instructed.
