Shutting Down The Engine - Yanmar 2V Series Operation Manual

ENGINE OPERATION

SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE

CAUTION
For maximum engine life, Yanmar
recommends that when shutting the
engine down, you allow the engine to
idle, without load, for five minutes. This
will allow the engine components that
operate at high temperatures, such as
the exhaust system, to cool slightly
before the engine itself is shut down.
Follow these steps to shut down the engine:
1. Disengage the PTO and / or set the
transmission to NEUTRAL.
2. Set the engine speed control to its lowest
setting.
3. Run the engine at low idle speed for at least five
minutes before you shut it down.

4. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it
from the key switch.
5. If the engine will not be used for six months or
longer, follow the additional instructions in Long
Term Storage on page 89.
