Stopping the mower
To stop the mower, release the operator control lever.
The engine and the blade will stop turning automatically.
If there is a build-up of grass beneath the chassis, stop
the engine, remove the spark plug cap and wait until the
engine has cooled before clearing the grass.

continues running for several seconds therefore do
not touch the underside of the mower until the cutter
has come to a standstill!
