ABSTRACT:
A device for safeguarding an engine against unauthorized use, the device including a unit structure for housing the engine starter, the starter mechanism switch and a code signal receiver therein to prevent access thereto. The code signal receiver includes a decoder to determine an authorized preselected code signal combination, upon receipt of which, the decoder activates the starter mechanism switch. A code signal generator transmits the code signal combination to the code signal receiver upon receiving a proper code transmitter key therein. The code transmitter key is provided with a series of displayable sections thereon to determine the code signal combination. Preferably, the code signal receiver includes a time delay to block forwarding of a following code signal combination for a predetermined time after receiving any first code signal combination to foil tampering by an unauthorized person using a count generator.
