Shutting Down The Engine; Prior To Shut-Down; Shut-Down; After Shut-Down - Volvo TAD1240GE Operator's Manual

Stopping the engine
In case of extended time between uses the engine should be run until warm at least once every 14 days. This pre-
vents corrosion
of the engine. If the engine will not be used for more than two months preservation should be performed. See the
chapter "Storage".
IMPORTANT! In case of freezing temperatures liquid in the cooling system must have sufficient anti-freeze.
See the chapter "Maintenance, cooling system". A poorly charged battery can freeze and break.
Before shut-down
Allow the engine to run a few minutes with no load be-
fore it is shut down. This permits an evening out of
temperatures within the engine, which prevents "after-
boiling" as well as cooling the turbocharger somewhat.
This contributes to a lengthened useful life without
disruptions.
Stop
•
Disengage the clutch/transmission (if possible).
•
Push in the stop button.
•
The engine stops and the electrical system shuts
down after approximately 6 seconds.

After shut-down

•
Check the engine with respect to possible
leakage.
•
Switch off the main switch during extended
periods without use.
Extra stop
The extra stop is on the engines left side, above the
control unit.
WARNING! Approaching or working on a running
engine is a safety risk. Beware of rotating parts
and hot surfaces.
