Practice Using the Kill Switch

Reading Policy Peddlers thread on a runaway Grizzly in reverse, made me realize that I have never used my kill switch, don’t even know if it woks. On three machines.

When things go wrong, we usually instinctively revert back to what we normally do…turn the key off, let off the gas, put the brakes on….

I do not recommend using the kill switch to turn machine off routinely, because the key will end up being left on. But maybe we should all do the "fire drill" and practice a going wrong issue and turn the kill switch off.

My mental command will be to Kill It. Same as my verbal command if we ever are riding. Means to turn off the kill switch.

Going to get out in the yard and do the fire drill today.
