Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and
clip
The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
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
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from

running away under power.

WARNING
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
●
cure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
●
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
ZMU05976
venting it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
●
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
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.
TIP:
The engine cannot be started with the clip re-
moved.
