tral.
2. Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to
a secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on
the other end of the lanyard into the en-
gine stop switch.
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.
