EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

The emergency stop switch is on the steering
handle. Use of the emergency stop feature is
highly recommended on all boats.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator's clothing or life vest — not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the stop switch. Disconnecting the clip and
lanyard will stop the engine and prevent the
boat from becoming a runaway if the driver
moves beyond the range of the lanyard. If the
lanyard is too long, it can be shortened by
knotting or looping it. DO NOT cut and retie
the lanyard.
