Low Oil Pressure; Emergency Engine Stop Switches - Chris-Craft 32 Launch (RJ) Owner's Manual

Low Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure drops to an unsafe pre-determined level, the engine speed automatically drops to
approximately 2,000 rpm and the low oil pressure warning indicator will illuminate or blink. A buzzer
also sounds providing an audible warning. This is referred to as "GUARDIAN MODE".
Stop the engine as soon as practical and check the oil level. Add oil as needed. If the oil level is correct
and the warning indicator does not disengage, contact the appropriate dealer for assistance. Do not start
the engine until the cause of the problem has been found and corrected.

Emergency Engine Stop Switches

Each boat is configured with an emergency engine shut-off switch. The switch is spring-loaded to the
closed position and requires a safety clip, attached to the end of a lanyard, to keep open. The other end
of the lanyard should be attached to the driver at all times. The engine will not start unless the safety
clips are properly installed, keeping the shut-off switch in an open position.
To keep the switch in an open position, simply pull the switch out and insert the clip in such a position as
to keep the switch from closing. The lanyard should:
Be attached to the driver at all times when operating the boat. Do not allow it to become entangled
•
at any time, in any way.
Be long enough to prevent inadvertent engine deactivation and still allow driver free movement.
•
3-34
DO NOT remove the safety clip from the end of the
lanyard. The safety clip allows the engines to shut
down in the event the operator becomes incapaci-
tated or falls overboard.
When driving the boat, attach the lanyard to your
person and keep attached at all times. Failure to do
so will not allow the engines to stop should the
driver fall overboard.
Do not use the emergency stop switch to shut down
the engines during normal operation. Damage to the
engines may result.
