NOTICE |
---|
Stopping the engine immediately after the engine has been operating under a load can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components. Allow the engine to gradually cool before stopping the engine. |
There may be several ways to stop the engine. Ensure that the stopping procedure is understood. Use the following general guidelines for stopping the engine.
- Disengage the driven equipment. Unload the compressor or pump.
- Disengage the clutch (if equipped).
- Place the transmission and/or other attachments for the power take-off in NEUTRAL.
- Reduce the engine rpm to low idle. Operate the engine at low idle rpm for a cooldown period before stopping the engine.
- If the engine has been operated at a low load, operate the engine at low idle for approximately 30 seconds before stopping the engine.
- If the engine has been operated at a high load, operate the engine at low idle for three to five minutes before stopping the engine.
- Turn the engine control switch to the stop position.
The engine will coast to a stop. Ensure that any system that provides external support to the engine operation is secured after the engine is stopped.
