NOTE:
The start-in-gear protection device prevents the engine from starting except when in neutral.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg. Then
install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the engine stop switch.
WARNING:
The engine must be started in neutral, otherwise damage to the engine can occur.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard where it
could become entangled and preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power
means the loss of steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly.
This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
