EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
9 The Emergency Stop Switch will stall the outboard motor when the stop switch tether
is pulled off. This stop switch tether can be attached to the operator of the outboard
motor to minimize or prevent injuries from the propeller in case the operator falls
10 overboard.
We highly recommend use of the Emergency Stop Switch tether.
11 !
Accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch (such as the tether being pulled out
12 in heavy seas) could cause passengers to lose their balance and even fall overboard,
or it could result in loss of power in heavy seas, strong currents, or high winds. Loss of
control while mooring is another potential hazard.
13 To minimize accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20 inch.)
stop switch tether is coiled and can extended to a full 1,300 mm (51 inch.).
