The lock plate must be attached to the en-
gine stop switch for the engine to run. The
lanyard should be attached to a secure
place on the operator'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.

WARNING
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of en-
gine 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.
