other end of the emergency stop
switch lanyard securely to the

STOP

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,

properly attach the lanyard before
starting the engine.
The engine will not start unless the
