Engine stop lanyard switch
The lock plate must be attached to the en-
gine stop switch for the engine to run. The
lanyard should be attached to a secure place
on the operator’s clothing, or arm or leg.
Should the operator fall overboard or leave
the helm, the lanyard will pull out the lock
plate, stopping ignition to the engine. This
will prevent the boat from running away un-
der power.
WARNING
EWM00120
●
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating.
●
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of en-
gine power means the 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.
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started with the lock
plate removed.
