Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch - Quicksilver 675CR Owner's Manual

Quicksilver 675CR— System & Component Overview and Operation
For the DTS control, the Throttle Only button is located on the lever below the handle grip. To engage,
press and hold the "Throttle-Only" button on the lever when the engine is in neutral. When you place
the ERC in gear, the warning horn will beep, however, the propeller is not turning. To disengage
"Throttle-Only" return the ERC lever back to neutral.
Moving the control lever forward from neutral engages the forward gear and throttle advance.
Moving the control lever backwards from neutral engages the reverse gear and thrust. The throttle
lever controls the RPM of the engine and the speed of the boat.
For the DTS control, there is a Stop/Start button. This button allows engine to be turned on and off
independent from the master key switch.
Power Trim & Tilt
The power trim, located on the side of the gear shift throttle handle, allows you to raise and lower the
engine for trailering and launching the boat. It also allows you to adjust the engine to create the
optimum run angle for the boat to achieve best all around performance (fuel consumption, speed).

10. Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch

Your boat is equipped with an engine shutdown safety switch built into the engine control. The engine
shutdown switch incorporates a shut-off switch and a lanyard. Before operating the boat, one end of
the lanyard must be connected to the shut-off switch while the other end is connected to the
operator. If an emergency arises where the engine must be shut down, pull the lanyard cord to
release it from the shut-off switch, which in turn shuts down the engine. This switch is designed to
shut the engine off when the operator of the boat leaves the control station, either accidently by
falling into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent inadvertent activation. Do not let the lanyard become
entangled.
Wear the lanyard at all times when operating the boat. Use
it to stop only in an emergency. DO NOT use it to shut off
the engine during normal operation
