Stopping the Engine

CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the parking
brake when leaving the machine unattended, even
if just for a few minutes.
Let the engine idle at slow throttle (turtle) for 60 seconds
before turning the ignition switch off.
Important: Make sure the fuel-shutoff valve is closed
before transporting or storing the machine, as fuel
leakage may occur. Before storing the machine, pull
wire off spark plug(s) to prevent possibility of accidental
starting.
