Stopping Engine; Checks After Stopping Engine - Komatsu GALEO HM350-2 Operation & Maintenance Manual

OPERATION
CANCELING DUMP BODY HOLD CONDITION
If the HOLD is canceled when the dump body is raised, the body will go down under its own weight. This is very dangerous.
Always lower the dump body before stopping the engine.
After the engine has been started, if the dump lever is operated to HOLD, the dump body is held in position until the
lever is operated to FLOAT, RAISE, or LOWER.
After starting the engine, the body pilot lamp lights up, so operate the dump lever from HOLD to FLOAT to cancel
the body hold condition. With this operation, when the dump body moves to the FLOAT condition, the body pilot
lamp goes out.

STOPPING ENGINE

NOTICE
If the engine is suddenly stopped without allowing it to cool down, there
is danger that the life of the engine parts will be shortened, so never
stop the engine suddenly except in emergency.
Allow the engine to cool down gradually before stopping it.
After the engine is stopped, the dump body is held at the same position,
regardless of the position of the dump lever. Set the dump lever to the
FLOAT position, lower the dump body, then stop the engine.
