GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE STOP SWITCH
The stop switch lock must be attached to the engine stop switch for the engine to run. The hook should be
attached to a secure place on the operators clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall over board or
leave the helm, the stop switch lock will pull out the stop switch, stopping ignition to the engine. This will
prevent the boat from running away under power.
NOTE: The engine cannot be started with the stop switch lock removed.
WARNING: Attach the engine stop switch hook to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operating. Do not attach the hook to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could be come entangled, preventing it from functioning. 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.
ENGINE STOP BUTTON
To stop the engine, push and hold the engine stop switch button or pull the lanyard out from the switch.
MANUAL STARTER HANDLE
To start the engine, first gently pull the handle out until resistance is felt. From that position, then pull the
handle straight out quickly to crank the engine.
NOTE: If the shift lever is not in the neutral
position the starter rope will be locked
and cannot be pulled
STEERING FRICTION ADJUSTER
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism, and can be set according to
operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is located on the swivel bracket.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster bolt clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster bolt
counterclockwise.
WARNING : Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to
steer, which could result in an accident.
