Stopping the Engine

Usage:

NOTICE

Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and accelerated wear of engine components.

Refer to the following procedure to allow the engine to cool and to prevent excessive temperatures in the turbocharger housing, which could cause oil coking problems.


  1. Stop the machine and run the engine at low idle for five minutes.


    NOTICE

    Never turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position while the engine is running. Serious damage to the electrical system may result.
