VI. Stopping Your Engine and
Short-Term Storage
Stop engine according to equipment manufacturer’s
instructions.
To avoid unsupervised operation of
an engine, especially by children,
NEVER leave it unattended when it is running. Always turn
off the engine after use and remove ignition key, if
provided. Failure to do so may lead to serious injury or
death.
NEVER store engine with fuel in the
fuel tank inside a building with
potential sources of ignition such as hot water or space
heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc. Doing so may
lead to an explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
