Stopping the Engine
Never stop the engine abruptly from full speed. Slow the speed and allow the engine to run idle for a few minutes.
This is necessary to prevent the moisture of the outside air from getting into the engine carburetor.
 Slow the engine to idle by turning accelerator lever fully counterclockwise.
 Shift the engine On/Off switch to the “OFF” poison.
 Close the fuel valve.
See the engine manual for further information.
