Emergency Engine Stop Switch
Wear the lanyard at all times when operating
the boat. Use it to stop only in an emergency.
DO NOT use it to shut off the engine during
normal operation
!
WARNING
The 220 Dauntless is equipped with an ignition
shutdown safety switch. The switch is located at the
center of the control console below the throttle/shift
control. The ignition shut down safety switch
incorporates a shut-off switch, switch clip, lanyard
and lanyard clip, which is clipped to the operator
when running. If an emergency arises where the
engine must be shut down, a pull on the cord to
release the clip from the shut-off will shut down the
engine. This switch is designed to shut the engine
off when the operator of the boat leaves the control
station, either accidentally by falling into the boat,
or by being ejected overboard. This would most likely
occur as a result of poor operating practices.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent
inadvertant activation. Do not let the lanyard become
entangled.

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Use transom tow ring only to pull water skiers.
Unless specified by the manufacturer, any other
use, such as parasailing, kite flying, towing
other boats, etc. may create too much stress
on the tow ring, resulting in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
