HANDLING OF ENGINE
Stopping the Engine
1. Confirm that the machine is not set to the
operation/driving mode.
2. Before stopping the engine, decrease the
engine speed to the idling speed to cool
down for approx. 3 minutes.
During this cooling down period, check for
an abnormality in the engine sound, oil
pressure, etc.
3. After confirming that the engine temperature
has dropped to the specified level, turn the
starter switch to "OFF".
4. When the battery switch is equipped, turn it
to "OFF" as well.
ADVICE
Stopping the engine immediately after engine operation may cause a failure
such as a seizure. Stop the engine after the engine temperature has dropped.
Make sure to place the starter switch in the "OFF" position after the engine
is stopped or when the engine is left unused for a long time. Otherwise the
battery may run out.
