ENGINE STOP LANYARD SWITCH

(for Tiller control model)
The lock-plate 1 must be attached to the
engine stop lanyard switch for the
engine to run. The lanyard 2 should be
attached to a secure place on the opera-
tor'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 under power.

8 Attach the lanyard to a secure place
on your clothing, your arm or leg
while operating.
8 Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard in such a way that it could
become entangled, preventing it from
functioning.
8 Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of
engine 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.
