Before Engine Shutdown
Let the engine run for a few minutes without loading
before stopping it. This allows engine temperature
equalization and prevents boiling once stopped and
also allows the turbocharger to cool down. This con-
tributes to long service life without malfunctions.

Stop the Engine

• Disengage the clutch (if possible).
• Depress the STOP-button (5).
After Engine Shutdown
1 Check the engine and engine bay for leakage.
2 Turn off the main switches before any long stop-
page.
3 Carry out maintenance in accordance with the
schedule.
For longer breaks in operation

warmed up at least once every two weeks. This pre-
vents corrosion attacks in the engine.
If you expect the engine to be unused for two months

Term Storage.
NOTICE! If there is a risk of frost, the coolant in the
cooling system must have sufficient frost protection.
