The emergency stop switch can only be effective when it is in good
working condition.
Observe the following:
• DO NOT remove or modify an emergency stop switch
and/or its lanyard.
• The lanyard must be free from obstructions that could
interfere with its operation.
Once a month: Check the emergency stop switch for proper
operation. With the engine running, pull lanyard. If the engine
does not stop, see your Nautique dealer for service of the switch.

• Volts - Indicates the condition of the engine’s cranking
battery in volts DC. With the ignition switch on and the
engine not running, a reading above 12.5 volts indicates a
fully charged battery. With the engine running at idle, the
gauge should read between 12.5 and 13 volts. With the
engine running at cruising speeds and above, it should show
13 to 14.5 volts. Have your Nautique dealer check the
charging system if the voltmeter reads outside these normal
ranges.
Hazard from improper use of the
emergency stop switch can cause death or serious
injury. The emergency stop switch is designed to stop
the boat if the operator is accidentally thrown from the
helm. Attach the lanyard to the operator before starting
the engine.
