Stopping; Emergency Stop; After Stopping - Volvo Penta D5A T Operator's Manual

Stopping

Allow the engine to run at no load for a couple of minutes before turning it off. This will keep the engine temperatu-
re in balance and prevent it from boiling.
IMPORTANT! The procedure described above is
especially important if the enginehas been run at
heavy loads.
IMPORTANT! If the engine stops abnormally, try
to locate the problem and make the repairs
needed before starting again. After restarting
the engine, make sure it runs properly.

Emergency stop

If a fault occurs that prevents the engine from being
stopped normally it can be stopped manually using
the speed adjustment lever on the engine.
1. Move the speed adjustment lever (1) to idle.
2. Move the shut-off lever (2) in the direction of the
arrow until the engine comes to a stop.
The warning display lamps for "No charge voltage"
and "Low oil pressure" will turn on when the engine
stops.
3. Turn the key to position "0" and remove. The
warning display lamps will turn off.
WARNING! Working on or approaching a running
engine is a safety hazard. Beware of rotating
parts and hot surfaces.
WARNING! Never try to increase the rpm with the
speed adjustment lever since this will make the
engine overspeed and cause damage.
