WARNING
●
Always attach the engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) to your PFD before starting the
engine. Failure to attach the cord could
result in a runaway boat if the operator is
ejected.
●
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord in
such a way that it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Once the engine
has stopped, you have no steering con-
trol of the boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly from planing
speed. This could cause people and ob-
jects in the boat to be thrown forward,
which could cause injury.
The clip on the end of the engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord must
be attached to a secure place on the opera-
tor’s PFD. Should the operator fall overboard
or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip,
stopping the ignition to the engine. This will
prevent the boat from running away under
power.

Battery switch
Turn the battery switch to the OFF (red) posi-
tion when the boat will not be used again right
away. Turning the switch to the OFF (red) po-
sition will prevent the battery from being
drained if another electrical switch is acciden-
tally left in the on position.
NOTICE:
Do not
turn the battery switch to the OFF (red) po-
sition if the boat is moored in the water as
it will prevent the bilge pump and anchor
light from functioning.
