Operator’s Manual

AT HIGH TEMPERATURES, SUCH AS THE

TURBOCHARGER (IF EQUIPPED) AND

EXHAUST SYSTEM, TO COOL SLIGHTLY

BEFORE THE ENGINE ITSELF IS SHUT DOWN.

Set Engine Speed Control to STOP

CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO

RUN AFTER YOU POSITION THE ENGINE

SPEED CONTROL TO THE STOP POSITION,

TURN THE FUEL COCK TO THE CLOSED

POSITION.

1. Press the Speed Control knob to STOP and the engine

speed control lever will automatically return to the STOP

position.
Note: The speed control lever is spring -loaded so

when you push down on the STOP button, the

speed control lever moves back to the shut-off

position. There is no idle position or intermediate

speeds.

ELECTRIC START MODELS
Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it from the

key switch.

AFTER THE ENGINE STOPS
1. Move the fuel cock lever to the closed position.
2. Slowly pull the recoil starter handle out to the point of

resistance (the point in the compression stroke where

the intake and exhaust valves are closed). This helps

to prevent rust while the engine is not in use.

3. If the engine will not be used for six months or longer,

follow the additional instructions on storage.
