Connect  the  clip  to  the  emergency  stop  switch.
Snap the lanyard to a  secure place on the opera-
tor’s clothing or life vest — not where it might tear
away instead of activating the stop switch. Discon-
necting the clip and lanyard will stop the engine and
prevent the boat from becoming a runaway if the
driver moves beyond the range of the lanyard. If the
lanyard is too long, it can be shortened by knotting
or looping it. DO NOT cut or retie the lanyard.

entanglements.

from the switch by pulling the lanyard. If the
engine  does   not  stop  running,   see  your

WARNING SIGNAL
1
2
If,  during  operation,  your  engine  begins  vibrating
noticeably and will not exceed 2000 RPM (fast idle),
the low oil pressure warning might have been acti-
vated. The engine’s warning system automatically
limits its RPM when crankcase oil pressure falls be-
low what the engine requires.
Oil  pressure  can  fall  due  to  operating  conditions
such as rough seas, or it can fall in response to in-
sufficient supply of oil. Once the engine’s warning
system has been activated, you must take appropri-
ate action to restore adequate oil pressure and re-
set  the  warning  system   before  the  engine  can
operate normally.
