9.3 Neutral Safety Switch

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

being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. If the engines 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 engines.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER

AND THE STOP SWITCH WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING.

If the engines 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 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System (With Optional

Generator)

The generator is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system. The equipment has been chosen and

located to provide sufficient volume and coverage of the entire generator compartment area. While the system

ensures excellent 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 that automatically shuts down the optional generator

and blowers when the system is activated. This system is located behind the cabin electrical panels. The red

light on the fire extinguisher control panel will light and an alarm will sound if this should occur. When

sufficient 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.
