Emergency Stop/Key Switch
A combination emergency stop switch and
key switch is a feature of Evinrude prewired
remote controls and all Evinrude control wir-
ing kits.
WARNING
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip
off the stop switch during normal
boating. Avoid bumping the key if
operating without the clip on the
switch. The resulting unexpected
loss of forward motion can throw
occupants forward, causing injury.
Keep the lanyard free from obstruc-
tions and entanglements.
At each outing, test the system's
operation. With the engine running,
remove the clip from the switch by
pulling the lanyard. If the engine
does not stop running, see your
Dealer.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator's clothing or life vest — not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the stop switch. Disconnecting the clip and
lanyard will stop the engine and prevent the
boat from becoming a runaway if the driver
moves beyond the range of the lanyard. If the
lanyard is too long, it can be shortened by
knotting or looping it. DO NOT cut and retie
the lanyard. In an emergency situation, the
engine can be started without the clip in place.
Follow the normal starting procedure. Rein-
stall a clip as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: Your emergency stop switch
can be effective only when in good working
condition. At each outing, inspect clip and lan-
yard for cuts, breaks, or wear. Replace worn
or damaged parts.
