Emergency Stopping
The OEM will supply the system.
In the event of an emergency or in the event of an
engine overspeed, switch off the ignition, the gas
valve and the governor.
NOTICE
Emergency shutoff controls are for EMERGENCY
use ONLY. DO NOT use emergency shutoff devices
or controls for normal stopping procedure.
Pressing the Emergency Stop Button may cause
unburned gas to remain in the air inlet and in the
exhaust manifold.
Unburned gas in the air inlet and exhaust system
may ignite when the engine is started. Personal
injury and/or property damage may result.
Before starting an engine that may contain un-
burned gas, purge the unburned gas from the air
inlet and exhaust system. Refer to the topic on
purging unburned gas in the " " Starting the Engine" "
section.
Typical Procedure in Order to Stop
the Engine
Note: The stopping procedure will differ because of
the different types of OEM controls that can be
installed.
1. In order to stop the engine, switch off the gas
valve.
2. With the engine stopped, switch off the ignition and
switch off the governor.
If another engine fault occurs switch off the gas
valve.
Manual Stop Procedure
In order to manually stop the engine, refer to the
OEM for information. The procedure will depend on
the system that has been installed.
Stopping the engine immediately after the engine has
been operating under a load can result in overheating
i02978181
and accelerated wear of the engine components.
Allow the engine to gradually cool before stopping
the engine.
After Stopping Engine
• Check the engine oil level. Maintain the oil level
between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the oil
level gauge.
• If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks and tighten loose bolts.
• Note the service hour reading. Perform the
maintenance that is scheduled in this Operation
and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval
Schedule" (Maintenance Section).
Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended
in the Refill Capacities and Recommendations sec-
tion of this manual. Failure to do so can cause engine
damage.
• Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
• If freezing temperatures are expected, check the
coolant for protection against freezing. 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. Refer to the instructions that
are provided by the OEM of the driven equipment.
