Using Your E-TEC Outboard
Emergency Stop/Key Switch
WARNING
A combination emergency stop switch and
key switch is a feature of Evinrude prewired
remote controls and all Evinrude control wir-
ing kits. Use of the emergency stop feature is
highly recommended on all boats.
Always use the safety lanyard when
operating your boat to help prevent a
runaway boat and reduce the risk of
personal injury or death.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing or life vest — not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the stop switch. Disconnecting 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 and retie
the lanyard. In an emergency situation, the
engine can be started without the clip in place.
Follow the normal starting procedure. Rein-
stall a clip as soon as possible.
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip off
the stop switch during normal boating.
Avoid bumping the key if operating
without the clip on the switch. The
resulting unexpected loss of forward
motion can throw occupants forward,
causing injury.
Your emergency stop switch can be
effective only when in good working
condition. At each outing, inspect clip
and lanyard for cuts, breaks, or wear.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
Keep the lanyard free from obstruc-
tions and entanglements.
At each outing, test the system’s oper-
ation. With the engine running, remove
the clip from the switch by pulling the
lanyard. If the engine does not stop
running, see your Dealer.
