6.12 Switch off the engine
6.12.1 To turn off the engine in the event of an emergency, switch the main
switch (1) to "0". Under normal circumstances, proceed as follows:
1. Shift the throttle lever (2) to the (L) position for low engine speed and
allow the engine to operate at idle speed for a short time before
switching it off.
2. Switch the main switch (1) to "0".
3. Close the fuel tap.
4. Slowly pull the recoil starter handle until you feel resistance and
then return the recoil starter handle to its original position.
Note: This procedure is necessary in order to prevent humid ambient air
from entering the combustion chamber.
6.12.2 Switching off the engine via the fuel tap
Close the fuel tap and wait until the engine stalls. Never leave fuel in
the carburetor over a long period of time while the engine is switched
off. Otherwise, the fuel channels in the carburetor become blocked by
dirt which results in faulty operation.
