The lanyard 2 should be attached to a secure place on the operator’s cloth- ing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the lanyard will pull out the lock plate, stopping igni- tion to the engine. This will prevent the boat from running away under power. w q w 407021 8 Attach the lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, your arm or leg while operating.

8 Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard in such a way that it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning. 8 Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during 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. NOTE: The engine cannot be started with the lock-plate removed. 2-3
