Stopping
Usage:
- 1. Remove the load from the engine.
- 2. Allow the engine to run at about half speed for five minutes. This allows internal temperatures to reduce gradually and prevents the loss of coolant by "afterboil".
- 3. Reduce speed to low idle for about 30 seconds.
- 4. Stop the engine by turning the START switch to OFF. The governor control will not stop the engine.
If an engine is going to be put in storage see your Caterpillar dealer for storage instructions.
