ENGINE SHUT-OFF SWITCH

The clip on the end of the engine shut-
off cord must be attached to the engine
shut-off switch for the engines to run.
The cord must be attached to a secure
place on the operator's personal flota-
tion device (PFD). Should the operator
fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping igni-
tion to both engines. This will prevent
the boat from running away under
power.

WARNING
Always attach the engine shut-off
cord to your personal flotation
device (PFD) BEFORE starting
the engines. Failure to attach the
cord could result in a runaway
boat if the operator is ejected.
Do not attach the cord to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route
the cord in such a way that it
could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the
cord during normal operation.
Once the engines have stopped
you have no steering control of
the boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapid-
ly from planing speed. This could
cause people and objects in the
boat to be thrown forward, which
could cause injury.
