Where is the second emergency fuel shutoff switch located?

• A. Behind the engine compartment
• B. Left of the driver (driver's control box)
• C. On the exterior left side panel
• D. In the glove box

Answer: (B)

Emergency fuel shutoff switches are designed to stop fuel quickly in a crash or fire. A second switch is placed where the operator can reach it fast, even if the main switch is blocked or unusable. Positioning it to the left of the driver at the control box gives immediate access without taking eyes off the controls, and it stays out of heat or debris that could affect an exterior or engine-area location. The other spots—behind the engine, on the exterior left panel, or in the glove box—are less accessible or practical in an emergency.
