B. Stop Engine 1. Move equipment control, if present (see manufacturer's instructions) engine control lever or ignition switch to "STOP" or "OFF" position. 2. Remove ignition key, if provided (see manufacturer's instructions). NOTE Removing key will reduce the possibility of unauthorized starting of the engine while equipment is not in use. WARNING 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.
