After Stopping Engine
- Check the engine crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil level between the "ADD" and "FULL" marks on the "ENGINE STOPPED" side of the oil level gauge.
- If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair any leaks and tighten loose bolts.
- Note the service hour meter reading. Perform the maintenance that is scheduled in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule" (Maintenance Section).
Note: Ensure that the engine has been stopped for a minimum of 45 minutes to prevent overfilling.

Follow the guidelines for antifreeze/coolant mixtures that are recommended in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" topic. Failure to do so can cause engine damage. |
- Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
- Loosen the cooling system filler cap slowly in order to relieve any pressure. Remove the cooling system filler cap.
- If freezing temperatures are expected, check the coolant for protection against freezing. The cooling system must be protected against freezing to the lowest expected outside temperature. Add the proper coolant/water mixture, if necessary.
- Perform all required periodic maintenance on all driven equipment. Refer to the instructions that are provided by the OEM of the driven equipment.
