Stopping the Engine
1. Move the throttle lever to slow (Fig. 18).
2. Turn the ignition key to off (Fig. 19).
Note: If the engine has been working hard or is hot, let it
idle for a minute before turning the ignition key off. This
helps cool the engine before it is stopped. In an
emergency, the engine may be stopped by turning the
ignition key to off.
3. Pull wire off spark plug(s) to prevent possibility of
someone accidentally starting the machine before
transporting or storing machine.
4. Close fuel shut off valve, on front panel before
transporting or storing machine.
Important Make sure fuel shut off valve is closed
before transporting or storing machine, as fuel leakage
may occur. Set parking brake before transporting.
