Checking The Engine After Operation - Yanmar 6LY3-STC Operation Manual

Note: Restarting the engine after using the
emergency stop may be slower or more
difficult than normal starting.
Mechanical Emergency Stop:
If for some reason you can't stop the engine
by the stop switch on the panel, push the
stop lever (Figure 7, (1)) towards the front
of the engine (Figure 7, (2)) to shut down
the engine in the engine room. WARNING!
SEVER HAZARD. ALWAYS keep hands,
body parts and loose fitting clothes
away from moving / rotating parts such
as the flywheel or PTO shaft. When
pushing the stop lever to the front side, the
trouble indication of the governor pops up in
the display. After the engine is shut down,
return the stop lever to the former position.
