SWITCH CLIP

The engine will not start or run
unless the clip is in the switch.

The emergency stop switch clip
and lanyard system is a safety
device that will stop the engine if
you fall away from the controls
while operating the boat.

Always attach the lanyard to your
PFD, or to your wrist, before
starting the engine.

Hold the priming bulb up in the
direction of the arrow, then squeeze
the priming bulb several times until it
feels firm, indicating that fuel has
reached the engine.

Check to be sure there are no fuel
leaks before starting the engine.

Put the emergency stop switch clip
in the engine stop switch, and
attach the lanyard to your PFD
(Personal Flotation Device) or to
your wrist.

Do not touch the priming bulb with
the engine running or when tilting up
the outboard motor. The carburetor
could overflow.
