Failure to attached engine shut-off cord

could result in a runaway boat if opera-
tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut-
off cord to a secure place on your cloth-
ing, 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-
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.
