WARNING
 Failure to attach the engine shut-off
cord could result in a runaway boat if
operator is ejected. Attach the engine
shut-off cord to a secure place on your
clothing, or your arm or leg while oper-
ating. Do not attach the cord to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
cord where it could become entangled,
preventing 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.
