Danger!
Accidentally starting the engine can
cause injury.
Protect yourself from injury, above all
when working on the vehicle.
• Switch off the engine.
• Engage the parking / locking
brake.
• Take out the ignition key.
• Wait until all moving parts have
come to a complete stop and the
engine has cooled down.
• Disconnect the spark plug terminals
on the engine so that it cannot start
