Run engine at one-third throttle, engage PTO and raise off of seat (but do not get off of machine) engine must initiate shutdown after one second has elapsed if the handles are in. The delay will be 1/2 second if the handles are out.

Run engine at one-third throttle, with brake disengaged, move levers in and raise off seat (but do not get off of machine) engine must initiate shutdown after 1/2 second has elapsed.

Again, run engine at one-third throttle, brake engaged, and move left motion control lever in - engine must initiate shutdown after 1/2 second has elapsed.

Repeat again moving the right lever in, then moving both levers in - engine must initiate shutdown after 1/2 second has elapsed whether operator is on seat or not.
