clip at one end of the emergency
stop switch lanyard into the
emergency stop switch. Attach the
other end of the lanyard to the
operator's wrist securely.
If the operator does not attach
the emergency stop switch
lanyard, and is thrown from his
seat or out of the boat, the out-
of-control boat can seriously
injure the operator, passengers,
or bystanders. Always properly
attach the lanyard before
starting the motor.
The engine does not start unless the
clip is set on the emergency stop
switch.

INDICATOR LIGHT
A spare emergency stop switch clip is
provided near the indicator light.

clip to make the emergency engine
start when the emergency stop switch
lanyard is not available as, for
example, the operator falls outboard.
