CONTROLS

Engine Stop Switch and Switch Clip

The engine stop switch has controls
for normal engine stopping and
emergency engine stopping.
In normal operation, press the en-
gine stop button to stop the engine.
A switch clip and lanyard system
stops the engine automatically if the
operator falls away from the controls.
The switch clip must be inserted in the engine stop switch in order for the
engine to start and run. The other end of the lanyard attaches to the operator's
wrist. If the operator falls away from the controls, the lanyard pulls the clip out
of the switch.
Always attach the lanyard to your PFD (Personal Flotation Device) or your
wrist before operating the outboard motor.
A spare switch clip is supplied with the tool kit.

Choke knob

The choke knob opens and closes
the choke valve in the carburetor.
The ON position enriches the fuel
mixture for starting a cold engine.
The OFF position provides the
correct fuel mixture for operation
after starting, and for restarting a
warm engine.
