9. Do not be alarmed if temperature gauges show a high reading
following a sudden stop after engine has been operating at full
load. This is caused by the release of residual heat from the
/
heavy metal masses near the combustion chamber. Prevention for
this is to run engine at idle for a short period before stopping
it. High temperature reading after a stop does not necessar ily
signal alarm against restarting. If there is no functional dif-
ficulty, temperatures will quickly return to normal when engine is
operating.
