Stopping The Engine
1 - Nut of high-pressure fuel pipe
1.
Before stopping the engine, push the engine speed lever to the low-speed position and let
the engine run for about 3 minutes with no load.
2.
Return the engine speed lever to the “STOP” position.
3.
In electric-start models, return the starter key to the “OFF” position.
4.
Move the fuel cock lever to the “S” (closed) position.
5.
Pull the start rope slowly until you feel resistance, i.e. until the engine is in the
compression position (where the intake and exhaust valves are closed) and leave the
engine in this position. This prevents rusting while the engine is not in use.
WARNING!
If the engine keeps on running even after the
speed lever is placed in the “STOP” position, stop the
engine either by closing the fuel cock (“S” position) or by
loosening the nut of the high-pressure fuel pipe on the
pump side.
CAUTION!
When stopping the engine, reduce the load
slowly. Do not stop the engine suddenly as it may cause the
temperature to raise abnormally.
CAUTION!
Do not stop the engine using the
decompression lever.
