Stopping the Engine
NOTICE
Stopping the
engine immediately after it has been
working under load, can result in overheating and ac-
celerated wear of the engine components.
Avoid accelerating the engine prior to shutting it down.
Avoiding hot
engine shutdowns will maximize tur-
bocharger shaft and bearing life.
Note: Indivi
dual applications will have different
control systems. Ensure that the shutoff procedures
are understood. Use the following general guidelines
in order to s
top the engine.
1. Remove the load from the engine. Allow the
engine to ru
n under no load conditions for five
minutes in order to cool the engine.
2. Stop the eng

according to the shutoff system on the engine and
turn the ignition keyswitch to the OFF position.
If necessa
ry, refer to the instructions that are
provided by the OEM.

After Stopping Engine
Note: Before yo
u check the engine oil, do not operate
the engine for at least 10 minutes in order to allow
the engine oil to return to the oil pan.
•
Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil level
between the “LOW” mark and the “HIGH” mark on
the oil level g
auge.
Note: Only use oil that is recommended in
this Operati
on and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid
Recommendations”. Failure to use the recommended
oil may result in engine damage.
•
If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks and tighten any loose bolts.
•
Note the service hour meter reading. Perform
the maintenance that is in the Operation and
Maintenanc
e Manual, “Maintenance Interval
Schedule”.
•
Fill the fue
l tank in order to help prevent
accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
•
Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
Maintain the cooling system at 13 mm (0.5 inch)
from the bo
ttom of the pipe for filling.
Note: Only use coolant that is recommended in
this Opera
tion and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid
Recommendations”. Failure to use the recommended
oil may result in engine damage.
•
If freezing temperatures are expected, check
the coolant for proper antifreeze protection. The
cooling s
ystem must be protected against freezing
to the lowest expected outside temperature. Add
the proper coolant/water mixture, if necessary.
•
Perform all required periodic maintenance on all
driven equipment. This maintenance is outlined in
the instr
uctions from the OEM.
