Figure E10: Emergency Stop Switch
(Certain Models Only)
The emergency stop switch can only be effective when
in good working condition. Observe the following:
1. Lanyard must always be free of entangle ments
that could hinder its operation.
2. Once a month, check the switch for proper
operation. With engine running, pull lanyard. If the
engine does not stop, see your Four Winns
Dealer.
3. Once a month, inspect both the clip and lanyard
for cuts, breaks or wear. Replace worn or dam-
aged parts.
In an emergency situation, any occupant of the boat
can restart the engine. Just press in and hold the
emergency stop switch button, then follow normal
starting procedures. When the button is released,
the engine will stop.
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip or lan yard
from the switch during regular boat ing opera-
tion. Occu pants may be thrown forward or
possible engine damage may occur by the
sud den loss of engine pow er.
M. Alarm System
Certain V series models have an engine alarm system
installed. This is an audible alarm that is mounted in
the helm area; it is actuated by engine water tempera-
Engines, Drives and Instrumentation - Section E
ture and engine oil pressure senders. The alarm will
sound in the event of low engine oil pressure or high
engine coolant temperature.
The engine alarm will sound during engine start-up, or
whenever the ignition switch is positioned to ON and
the engine is not operat ing. The alarm sounds under
these conditions because engine oil pres sure is low;
the alarm will cease to sound as soon as engine oil
pressure rises to the proper level.
NOTICE
The engine alarm moni tors only engine water
tem pera ture and engine oil pres sure. Always
maintain a close visual watch on the drive(s),
transmis sion(s), engine fluid levels, bilge water
level, etc. Refer to the engine manufacturer's
litera ture for additional information.
