Shutting Off the Engine
CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while
it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and engage
the parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Important:
Make sure that the fuel-shutoff valve
is closed before transporting or storing the
machine, as fuel leakage may occur. Engage the
parking brake before transporting. Make sure that
you remove the key as the fuel pump may run and
cause the battery to lose charge.
