UTV Kill Switches

There's nothing quite like the thrill of riding a snowmobile, ATV, or personal watercraft, but all of these powersports vehicles, in fact, have always been a source of risk. You might fall down, turn over, or get into other dangerous situations, and your vehicle may hurt you or other people. Fortunately, there are pieces of protective gear and various devices designed to prevent injury or even save a life. Lanyards and tether switches belong to such devices and are meant to shutdown the engine in case of an emergency.

Nobody is immune to being suddenly thrown out of the seat. In order to stop the running motor straightway, there is a tether kill switch or lanyard having a clip and special connector without which the engine cannot operate. A lanyard can be attached to your life jacket, belt loop, or put on the wrist. If you fall off, the connector will get off the socket while turning off the ignition system and making the motor stop. When it comes to PWC, lanyards are often required by law and usually made floating.

Whatever powersports vehicle you own, make sure the kill switch you're about to install fits your electrical system. Some switches are made normally closed while others are normally open, which means the corresponding electrical circuit has to be open or closed to keep the engine running.
