B. Stop Engine
1. Move equipment control, if present (see manufacturer’s
instructions) engine control lever or ignition switch to
“STOP” or “OFF” position.
2. Remove ignition key, if provided (see manufacturer’s
instructions).
NOTE
Removing key will reduce the possibility of unauthorized
starting of the engine while equipment is not in use.
NEVER store engine with fuel in the
fuel tank inside a building with
potential sources of ignition such as hot water or space
heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc. Doing so may
lead to an explosion resulting in death or serious injury.

controls, follow instructions with engine

instructions) engine control lever or ignition switch back
and forth several times and leave control in “STOP” or
