5.3 SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE

a) Move the fuel control lever to the "MIN" position.
b) If the mowing mechanism is turned on, shut it off by pressing the switch downward.
c) Shut off the engine by turning the key to the "STOP" position and remove the key from the ignition.
If the engine is too hot, let it idle for a while.
- Never shut the engine off just by leaving the driver seat. Leaving the key in the
ignition in "ON" position may damage the electrical system.
- Always turn the key to the "OFF" position and remove it from the ignition. This
prevents children and unauthorized persons from starting the machine.
- Before turning off the ignition, slow the engine to idle in the case of self-ignition. Not
doing this can damage the engine and exhaust.
- Never disconnect the battery cables while the motor is running! This could damage
the motor regulator.
