clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn
the adjuster counterclockwise.
WARNING! Do not overtighten the fric-

result in an accident.

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and
clip
The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operators clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power. WARNING! At-
tach the engine shut-off cord to a secure
place on your clothing, 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,
preventing it from functioning. Avoid acci-
dentally pulling the cord 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 ob-
jects in the boat to be thrown forward.
