Manual Stop Procedure
Stopping the Engine
NOTICE
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been
working under load, can result in overheating and ac-
celerated wear of the engine components.
Avoid accelerating the engine prior to shutting it down.
Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize tur-
bocharger shaft and bearing life.
Note: Individual applications will have different
control systems. Ensure that the shutoff procedures
are understood. Use the following general guidelines
in order to stop the engine.
1. Remove the load from the engine. Allow the
engine to run under no load conditions for five
minutes in order to cool the engine.
2. Stop the engine after the cool down period
according to the shutoff system on the engine and
turn the ignition keyswitch to the OFF position.
If necessary, refer to the instructions that are
provided by the OEM.
Emergency Stopping

Emergency shutoff controls are for EMERGENCY use
ONLY. DO NOT use emergency shutoff devices or
controls for normal stopping procedure.
The OEM may have equipped the application with
an emergency stop button. For more information
about the emergency stop button, refer to the OEM
information.
Ensure that any components for the external system
that support the engine operation are secured after
the engine is stopped.

Note: Before you check the engine oil, do not operate
the engine for at least 10 minutes in order to allow
the engine oil to return to the oil pan.
• Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil level
between the "LOW" mark and the "HIGH" mark on
the oil level gauge.
Note: Only use oil that is recommended in
this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations". Failure to use the recommended
oil may result in engine damage.
•
If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks and tighten any loose bolts.
•
Note the service hour meter reading. Perform
the maintenance that is in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval
Schedule".
•
Fill the fuel tank in order to help prevent
accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
•
Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
Maintain the cooling system at 13 mm (0.5 inch)
from the bottom of the pipe for filling.
Note: Only use coolant that is recommended in
this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations". Failure to use the recommended
oil may result in engine damage.
•
If freezing temperatures are expected, check
the coolant for proper antifreeze protection. 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. This maintenance is outlined in
the instructions from the OEM.
