Engine stop mechanisms
Diesel engines are stopped by preventing the fuel being injected into the cylinders.
This is achieved using a cable operated control marked
'STOP'
To stop, pull and
hold the control knob until the engine has stopped. When the engine has stopped,
push the control knob back to the
'RUN'
position. Then switch off the engine
ignition.
This control also operates a cold start, by pulling out once before trying to start
engine.
/
If it is not pushed all the way in, the engine will not start.
f
On engines fitted with mechanical stop
systems,
do not turn the key to the
'off-position
whilst
* the engine is running. This can seriously damage the charging
system,
particularly the
alternator.
