Engine Operation Cont'd.
5.2-1
TO STOP ENGINE:
1. Pull stop knob and hold it until engine dies, then push
knob back fully or push electric stop button on engine
panel, if so equipped.
2. ONLY AFTER ENGINE HAS STOPPED - Visual and audible alarms will
be effected until key is turned to ’OFF" position. Shut off key
switch or ignition breaker. Turning off the switch while the
engine is operating will NOT stop the engine, and may damage
the alternator. Be sure to shut off the switch after the engine
has stopped, as leaving the switch on will maintain a flow of
current to the alternator.

very high exhaust temperatures. The result is that any defect
or restriction of flow anywhere in the cooling water system running
to the exhaust line can cause excessive build up of heat, which in
turn could burn the exhaust hose. Also, due to high temperatures
it is recommended that after running the diesel for a period of time
it should be brought back to the idle position and allowed to
operate for a few minutes to dissipate any excess heat.
