4.7 STOPPING

1. Disconnect all applied loads if possible, along with
Power Take-Off (PTO) attachments, before
stopping the engine.
2. If the engine has been running under a heavy load,
reduce engine speed and allow it to run for an
additional 2–3 minutes before stopping. This action
will help to cool the engine slightly before
shutdown.
The specific engine-stopping sequence varies
depending on the equipment that this engine powers.
Refer to your equipment Operation Manual for more
information.
