9.3 Neutral Safety Switch

Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the engine from

being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. If the engine will not start,

slight movement of the shift levers may be necessary to locate the neutral position and disengage the safety

cutout switch. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist. See

your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments. Please refer to the Helm Systems chapter for

more information on the neutral safety switch.

9.4 Engine Stop Switch

Your Pursuit is equipped with a engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage the

switch and shut off the engine.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER AND

THE STOP SWITCH WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING.

If the engine will not start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the engine stop switch.

Always make sure the lanyard is properly attached to the engine stop switch before attempting to start the

engine.

You should carry an extra stop switch lanyard and instruct at least one other crew member on the operation

of the stop switch and location of the extra lanyard.

9.5 Carbon Monoxide

CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. IT

IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon monoxide (CO), a by-product of combustion, is invisible, tasteless, odorless and is produced by all

engines and most heating and cooking appliances. It exists wherever fuels are burned to generate power or

heat. The most common sources of CO on boats are gasoline engines and auxiliary generators and propane

or butane stoves. These produce large amounts of CO and should never be operated while sleeping. High

concentrations of CO can be fatal within minutes. Many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that

while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by

either exiting the area or calling for help. Also, young children, elderly persons and pets may be the first

affected. Drug or alcohol use increases the effect of CO exposure. Individuals with cardiac or respiratory

conditions are very susceptible to the dangers of carbon monoxide. CO poisoning is especially dangerous

during sleep when victims are unaware of any side effects.
