Stopping the Engine
1. Move the throttle to the Slow position, and then to the
Stop position (Figure 32) to kill the engine. The engine
can also be stopped by pulling the ignition key outward
to the middle position.
2. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Remove the ignition key to prevent accidental starting.
4. Close the fuel shutoff valve by rotating it clockwise
(Figure 33).
5. Pull the recoil starter 3 or 4 times. This helps prevent
the recoil starter from freezing up.
