2.6 Engine Stop Switch

Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop

switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is

pulled away, it will shut off the engines.

Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a

strong piece of clothing on the operator. The

engines will not start if the clip is not inserted

into the stop switch. Make sure the lanyard

is properly attached to the engine stop

switch before attempting to start the engine.

DO NOT use the switch to stop the boat

under normal operation. Test the switch peri-

odically, if the switch is not operating prop-

erly, DO NOT use the boat. Contact your

Pursuit Dealer and have it repaired.

Refer to the engine owner's manual for more

information on the engine stop switch.

2.7 Automatic Fire Extinguisher

System (with Optional

Generator)

The generator is equipped with an automatic

fire extinguishing system. The extinguisher

has been chosen and located to provide suf-

ficient coverage of the generator compart-

ment. While the system helps ensure bilge

fire protection, it does not eliminate the U.S.

Coast Guard requirement for hand held fire

extinguishers.

The system is equipped with an engine shut-

down circuit to automatically shut down the

generator. The red light on the fire extin-

guisher control panel will light and an alarm

will sound if this should occur. When suffi-

cient time has elapsed for the fire to be

extinguished and a flashback is no longer

possible, find and fix the problem, then the

override switch on the control panel can be

moved to the "OVERRIDE" position and the

engines can be restarted. Refer to the Auto-

matic Fire Extinguisher System in the Helm

Systems.

If the extinguisher system is activated, shut

down all engines immediately. Turn off all

electrical systems, powered ventilation and

extinguish all smoking materials. DO NOT

open the engine compartment hatch, this will

feed oxygen to the fire and a flashback can

occur. Allow the extinguishing agent to soak

the generator compartment for at least 15

minutes and wait for hot metals or fuels to

cool before inspecting for cause or damage.

Have an approved portable fire extinguisher

at hand and ready for use and DO NOT

breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire.

It is extremely important that you read,

! WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL AND UNSAFE BOAT

HAZARD

An engine stop switch system that does

not function properly or is not used can

cause death or serious injury. DO NOT

operate the boat if the emergency stop

switch system does not function

properly.

Engine Stop Switch (Typical)

! WARNING

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD

The gas of the fire extinguisher system

displaces oxygen to “smother” the fire.

DO NOT open the hatch. Oxygen can feed

a fire and flashback can occur which can

cause death or serious injury. If the

onboard fire system discharges, wait at

least 15 minutes before opening engine

hatch.
