WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting
from accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat
operator should never leave the operator's station without first
disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal
operation is also a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the
following potentially hazardous situations:
• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss
of forward motion ‑ a particular concern for passengers in
the front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and
possibly struck by the gearcase or propeller.
• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong
current, or high winds.
• Loss of control when docking.
KEEP THE LANYARD STOP SWITCH AND LANYARD
CORD IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION
Before each use, check to ensure the lanyard stop switch works
properly. Start the engine and stop it by pulling the lanyard cord.
If the engine does not stop, have the switch repaired before
operating the boat.
Before each use, visually inspect the lanyard cord to ensure it is
in good working condition and that there are no breaks, cuts, or
wear to the cord. Check that the clips on the ends of the cord are
in good condition. Replace any damaged or worn lanyard cords.
