Emergency Engine Stop Switch - Axis A20 Owner's Manual

Even if systems are not discharged, fire extinguishers and suppression units require period-
ic maintenance. For a factory-installed automatic fire suppression system, a check of the system
should be part of the routine annual maintenance. Hand-held units should be examined regu-
larly for rust, corrosion, damage, or leakage. Weigh the unit annually to be certain that it meets
the minimum listed on the label. If it has been used, even partially, it should be recharged by a
qualified fire-extinguisher servicing company.
When purchasing fire extinguishing and suppression units, Axis strongly recommends
buying units that are prepared specifically for the marine environment. The standards for these
units have been established by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Boat and Yacht Council
(ABYC). In other countries, follow the recommendations and requirements of local jurisdictions
and boating authorities.
Axis recommends fire extinguishing and suppression in excess of the minimum require-
ments. While an automatic fire suppression system is highly effective in most instances of an en-
gine compartment fire, it is possible that a fire could occur in another area of the boat. Therefore,
Axis recommends having at least one (1) hand-held unit fully charged and on-board at all times.

switch. Connected to the operator, if (s)he moves away from the controls, the
all on-board or other boaters in the area could be subject to serious injury or ever death. Never operate
the boat without the emergency engine stop switch lanyard connected between the switch and the boat
operator. Malibu recommends the operator of the vessel always remain at the helm any time the engine
is running.
Models: Standard on all models.

The Emergency Engine Stop Switch attaches to the boat operator
by way of a lanyard for the purpose of shutting off the engine if the
operator, for any reason, moves or is moved away from the driver's
helm.
The switch assembly consists of an ON-OFF switch and a switch/
lanyard clip. The engine will not run if the toggle is in the OFF
position. Axis recommends the clip always be inserted in the toggle
The emergency engine stop switch lanyard should always be connected
between the switch and the operator when the engine is running. The
purpose of the switch is to immediately shut OFF the engine if the op-
erator moves away from the driver's helm. Without the driver's control,
clip will pull free, pulling the
switch to the OFF position. If
the engine needs to be shut
down very quickly, it can be done so by
pulling on the lanyard to release it from the
switch.
To reset the switch after activation, re-
install the lanyard clip and flip the switch to
the UP position.
