Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a
strong piece of clothing on the operator. The
engines will not start if the clip is not inserted
into the stop switch. Make sure the lanyard
is properly attached to the engine stop
switch before attempting to start the engine.
DO NOT use the switch to stop the boat
under normal operation. Test the switch peri-
odically, if the switch is not operating prop-
erly, DO NOT use the boat. Contact your
Pursuit Dealer and have it repaired.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more
information on the engine stop switch.

2.7 Automatic Fire Extinguisher
System (with Optional
Generator)
The generator is equipped with an automatic
fire extinguishing system. The extinguisher
has been chosen and located to provide suf-
ficient coverage of the generator compart-
ment. While the system helps ensure bilge
fire protection, it does not eliminate the U.S.
Coast Guard requirement for hand held fire
extinguishers.
The system is equipped with an engine shut-
down circuit to automatically shut down the
generator. The red light on the fire extin-
guisher control panel will light and an alarm
will sound if this should occur. When suffi-
cient time has elapsed for the fire to be
extinguished and a flashback is no longer
possible, find and fix the problem, then the
override switch on the control panel can be
moved to the "OVERRIDE" position and the
engines can be restarted. Refer to the Auto-
matic Fire Extinguisher System in the
Plumbing Systems.

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL AND
UNSAFE BOAT HAZARD
An engine stop switch system that
does not function properly or is not
used can cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT operate the boat if the
emergency stop switch system does
not function properly.
!
WARNING
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
The gas of the fire extinguisher
system displaces oxygen to
“smother” the fire. DO NOT open the
hatch. Oxygen can feed a fire and
flashback can occur which can cause
death or serious injury. If the onboard
fire system discharges, wait at least
15 minutes before opening engine
hatch.
