Engine Shutdown - Volvo Penta D16 MH MCC 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.

Stop the Engine
1 Disengage the reverse gear by moving the control
lever to the neutral position.
2 Press the stop button until engine speed begins to
fall.
3 Check that the rpm reading drops to 0 and that
engine status changes to "Ready".
Emergency stop
If a fault occurs that prevents you stopping the engine
in the normal way, you can stop it by pressing the
emergency button.
If the engine has been stopped using the emergency
stop button, the button locks in the down position. In
order to be able to restart the engine, the button must
be reset to its original position. To do this, pull the but-
ton upwards until you hear a click.
After Engine Shutdown
• Check the engine and engine bay for leakages.
• Close the fuel tap.
• Close the sea cock where fitted.
• Take an hour meter reading and carry out preven-
tive maintenance according to the maintenance
schedule.
• Turn off the main switch before any long stoppage.
