Function and operation of components
• Interference from other electronic devices
(radios) could affect locking and unlocking
of the system. Confirm the system has
locked before leaving the boat. Repeat the
locking/unlocking procedure if necessary.
Lock
When the EKS fob is placed over the lock in-
dicator, the beeper sounds once. This indi-
cates the lock mode is selected and the
ignition switch cannot be turned to “ON”.
When in lock mode, the EKS panel lock indi-
cator blinks. When the ignition switch is OFF,
or the ignition switch is ON and the engines
are not running, locking can be performed.
Unlock
When the EKS fob is placed over the lock in-
dicator, the beeper sounds twice. This indi-
cates the unlock mode is selected and the
ignition switch can be turned to “ON”.
■
Ignition switch
Pushing the ignition switch turns the power
ON and OFF. When the power is ON, the ac-
tive indicator will be illuminated.
■
Start/stop switch
Pushing the start/stop switch starts and
stops the engine. The active indicator will be
illuminated when the engine is running.
■
All ignition switch (for triple engine ap-
plication)
Pushing the All ignition switch turns power to
all engines ON and OFF. The active indica-
tions will be illuminated when the power is
ON.
■
All start/stop switch (for triple engine
application)
Pushing the All start/stop switch starts and
stops all engines. The active indicators will
be illuminated when the engines are running.
Engine shut-off switch
The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operator’s clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, turning the engines
OFF. This will prevent the boat from running
away under power.
WARNING
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating. Do not attach the
cord to clothing that could tear loose. Do
not route the cord where it could become
entangled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power, the
boat could slow rapidly. This could cause
people and objects in the boat to be
thrown forward.
