5. Make sure that the motor is in "NEUTRAL".
6. Make sure the lock plate is in place and
attach the emergency stop switch cord to a
part of your body.
V WARNING
Failure to properly attach the emergency stop
switch cord or to take proper precautions to
help ensure that the emergency stop switch
works as intended may result in serious injury
or death to the operator or passengers.
Always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the emergency stop switch
cord is fastened securely to the operator's
wrist or to an appropriate clothing area (belt
etc.).
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or
restrict emergency stop switch operation.
• Be careful 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 unexpect-
edly throw occupants forward.
NOTE:
A spare plastic lock plate is provided for tempo-
rary use only. Remove it from the cord and
place it in a safe place on board your boat. If
you lose or break the emergency stop switch
cord/lock plate assembly, replace it as soon as
possible so that you can resume normal use of
the emergency stop switch.
