General Information
Lanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch (1) is to turn off the engine when
the operator moves far enough away from the operator’s position (as
in accidental ejection from the operator’s position) to activate the
switch. Some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop
switch. A lanyard stop switch can be installed on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator’s position.
The lanyard is a cord usually between 4 and 5 feet (1220 and 1524
mm) in length when stretched out with an element on one end made
to be inserted into the switch and a snap (2) on the other end for
attaching to the operator. The lanyard is coiled to make its at-rest
condition as short as possible so as to minimize the likelihood of
lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. It is made as long as it is
in its stretched condition to minimize the likelihood of accidental
activation should the operator choose to move around in an area
close to the normal operator’s position. If it is desired to have a
shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator’s wrist or leg,
or tie a knot in the lanyard.
