Engine Shutoff Made Simple: Phidix Pull-Only Tension Cable for Manual Stop Control
Where Manual Engine Stop Is Still Essential
While electronic shutdowns are common, many critical diesel and agricultural machines still rely on mechanical shutoff cables to:
• Ensure control when electrical systems fail
• Provide a simple, tactile emergency stop mechanism
• Integrate with mechanical fuel pumps, governor levers, or cut-off valves
The Phidix Pull-Only Tension Cable enables direct mechanical disengagement—even in dusty, hot, or vibration-heavy environments.
Designed for Reliability in Harsh Conditions
• Lubed-for-life core prevents seizure from dust or debris
• Sealed conduit and caps protect internal elements from oil, heat, and washdown
• Consistent pull resistance ensures reliable shutoff every time
• Field-proven fittings for secure attachment to engine levers or control knobs
