Shut the engine down using EKG
E |
= Engine cutoff switch OFF |
K |
= Key OFF |
G |
= Gas OFF |

You use the engine cutoff switch because then you can stop the engine
keeping both hands on the handgrips. Ignitions (keys) can be located
in a number of places. Using the engine cutoff ensures the engine
isn't running while you look for where the key is located.
