Stopping The Engine; Stopping; After Stopping - Volvo Penta D3-130A-A Operator's Manual

Stopping the engine

The engine should be run for a few minutes at idle (in neutral) before turning it off. This will avoid boiling and even
out the temperature. This is especially important if the engine has been operated at high engine speeds and
loads.

Auxiliary stop
If the engine cannot be stopped in a normal procedure,
it is possible to stop the engine via auxiliary stop
mounted on the right side of the engine.
After stopping the engine
●
Close the fuel cock.
●
Close the seawater intake.
IMPORTANT! Do not forget to open the cocks be-
fore the engine is started again.
●
Inspect the engine and engine compartment for any
leaks.
●
Boats with drives: The drive must be trimmed in to
its maximum to protect the trim cylinders untreated
surfaces from fouling.
IMPORTANT! If there is a risk that the drive can
run aground, it must instead be trimmed out to its
maximum lift position.
●
Switch off the main switches if the boat is not to be
used for some time.
IMPORTANT! Never break the circuit with the
main switches while the engine is running. This
could damage the alternator.
