18 248 BAY SERIES
Engine Shutdown Safety Switch:
Your SEA PRO boat is Equipped with an Engine Shutdown
Safety Switch. The Safety Switch is located below the
Shift/Throttle Control Unit, on the Ignition Panel, and
includes the following components:
Shutdown Switch
Switch Clip
Lanyard
Lanyard Operator Clip
When the switch clip is pulled/removed from the
Shutdown Switch, the engine will immediately be shut
down. This Shutdown control is designed so that if an
emergency occurs, the engine will be shut down and the
vessel will not become out of control or a runaway
vessel. The Engine shutdown will occur should the
operator leave the Helm/Controls, be accidentally
knocked down inside the vessel or be ejected overboard
from the vessel. The lanyard should be long enough to
prevent inadvertent Engine Shutdown.
Before starting the engine, take the following steps:
•
Ensure the Switch Clip is fully secured in the
Shutdown Switch
• Ensure the Lanyard is not tangled or wrapped
around any objects
•
Secure the Lanyard Operator Clip to the Vessel
Operator
WARNING : Never remove or modify the Engine Shutdown
Safety Switch. Regularly check that the Shutdown
Switch is in working condition. Should the Shutdown
Switch become inoperable and does not shut down the
Engine when the Switch Clip is removed, have the switch
repaired before continuing to operate your vessel.
