There is a simple mechanical vacuum routing switch built into the electrical key switch.
The vacuum Shut-Off valve (mounted on rear of injection pump), pulls the injection pump rack to stop the engine fuel supply.

Danger:
If you suspect a bad vacuum Shut-Off valve, you must read the following thread before attempting a DIY repair.
