Do not rely on depth sounder to avoid sub-
merged objects. Depth sounders provide a
relative indication of water depth only.
Keep emergency stop switch lanyard free from
obstructions that could interfere with its opera-
tion. Do not modify or remove emergency stop
switch or bypass its safety features. The proper
use of the emergency stop switch will prevent a
runaway boat situation which can cause severe
personal injury or death.
NOTICE
DO NOT depend solely upon the depth
sounder for water depth. It is important to have
navigational charts of the waters in which you
are operating.
I.
Four Position Ignition Switch
Most models use an ignition switch with four positions:
OFF, RUN, ACCESSORIES, and START. Just like
the three position switch, the START position is spring
loaded and the key should be held in this position
until the engine starts. The key will return to the RUN
position once released. Always turn the key to the
OFF position when the engine is not running. This will
prevent discharging of the battery(s). The ACCES-
SORIES position allows the operator to run the stereo
without activating the other ship’s systems. Additional
information on ignition switch operation is covered in
Section A Operation, of this manual.
Figure E-6: Emergency Stop Switch
The emergency stop switch can only be effective
when in good working condition. Observe the
following:

Lanyard must always be free of entanglements
that could hinder its operation.
This safety device automatically stops the engine if
the lanyard is attached to the operator and the
operator falls from his work station. Refer to the
engine manual for detailed information about using
this switch.
Once a month, check the switch for proper opera-
tion. With engine running, pull lanyard. If the en-
gine does not stop, see your Four Winns Dealer.

Once a month, inspect both the clip and lanyard
for cuts, breaks or wear. Replace worn or dam-
aged parts.
The emergency stop switch (Figure E-6) incorporates
a shutoff switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip.
The lanyard clip must be securely attached to the op-
erator’s PFD, clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to attach
the lanyard to a place where it is free of obstructions
and to something that will move with the operator if
he or she leaves the helm station. If the engine shuts
down because this switch was activated, the clip may
have to be reinstalled on the interrupter switch before
the engine can be started.
In an emergency situation, any occupant of the boat
can restart the engine. Just press in and hold the
emergency stop switch button, then follow normal
starting procedures. When the button is released,
the engine will stop.
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip or lanyard
from the switch during regular boating opera-
tion. Occupants may be thrown forward or
possible engine damage may occur by the
sudden loss of engine power.
