an engine that has been serviced, make
provisions to stop the engine if an overspeed
occurs. The stopping of the engine may be
accomplished by shutting off the fuel supply and/
or the air supply to the engine. Ensure that only
the fuel supply line is shut off. Ensure that the fuel
return line is open.
