WARNING

●Failure to attached engine shut-off cord could result in a runaway boat if opera- tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut- off cord to a secure place on your cloth- ing, or your arm or leg while operating. Do not attach the cord to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the cord where it could become entangled, pre- venting it from functioning.

●Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur- ing 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.

1.Place the remote control lever in neutral.

TIP:

The start-in-gear protection device prevents the engine from starting except when in neu- tral.

2.Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
