Engine Shutdown - Volvo Penta D4 Operator's Manual

Engine Shutdown

Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few minutes after operations are completed. In this way after-
boiling is avoided at the same time as temperature equalization takes place. This is especially important when
the engine has been run at high rpm or under heavy load.
