Charging indicator lamp
If the lamp comes on during operation:
- Check and adjust the alternator drive belts as described under the
maintenance point. See page 48.
- If the charging indicator lamp is still on, this could be due to an
alternator fault or a fault in the electrical system.
Stopping the engine
1. Run the engine without a load for a few minutes if it has been run
continuously with a heavy load.
2. Stop the engine with the stop button or the starter key (depending on
version). Keep the stop button depressed until the engine has stopped
completely.
3. Set the control switch to the "0" position.
4. Engines with battery master switch: Switch the power off with the
battery master switch.
Note: 10 prohibited engine stops will cause torque reduction (70% of
fuel quantity). To reset the engine, switch off the engine once in
the prescribed manner.
Checks after running
- Check that the power is cut from the battery master switch and that the
control switch is in the "0" position.
- Fill the fuel tank. Make sure that the filler cap and the area round the
filler opening are clean to avoid contamination of the fuel.
- If there is a risk of freezing, the cooling system must contain enough
glycol. See pages 24 and 37.
- At temperatures below 0°C: prepare for the next start by connecting the
engine heater (if fitted).
There is danger of turbocharger
damage and post boiling if the
engine is stopped without
cooling.

when the engine is stopped after
the first start.
