9.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the engines from
being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. If the engines will not
start, slight movement of the shift levers may be necessary to locate the neutral position and disengage the
safety cutout switch. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist.
See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments. Please refer to the Helm Systems chapter
for more information on the neutral safety switch.
9.4 Engine Stop Switch
Your Pursuit is equipped with a engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage
the switch and shut off the engines.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER
AND THE STOP SWITCH WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING.
If the engines will not start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the engine stop switch.
Always make sure the lanyard is properly attached to the engine stop switch before attempting to start the
engine.
You should carry an extra stop switch lanyard and instruct at least one other crew member on the
operation of the stop switch and location of the extra lanyard.
9.5 Carbon Monoxide
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.
IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed in the cabin on the rear bulkhead. If excess carbon monoxide
fumes are detected, the detector will sound an alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas.
ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL. EVACUATE THE CABIN IMMEDI-
ATELY. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.
DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM
FOUND AND CORRECTED.
