Stopping the engine from the FPT control panel
Before stopping the engine it is recommended you run it for a few
minutes at minimum speed with no load; this will allow the
temperature to drop evenly and will avoid harmful thermal shocks.
The shutdown method will depend on the type of equipment installed.
With “unexcited” stop circuit
- Turn the key switch to position
1A
- REST.
With “excited” stop circuit
- Turn the key switch to the
STOP position.
In the absence of FPT control panels, always follow the instructions
provided by the Manufacturer of the machine.
Should you intend to re-start the engine:
1. Return the key switch to the rest position
1A
, thus resetting all the
on-board panel functions (Required for electronically controlled
engines).
2. Turn the key to position
1C
“Start” and release it once the engine
has started, without accelerating.
3. Proceed as described previously.
RECOGNISING ALARMS
Indicator and alarm synoptics
The FPT instrument panel contains the indicator lights used to indicate
the state of operation of the engine. Light-up of these indicators is
piloted by electronic circuits, which have a simultaneous alarm timer
and storage function.
7A. Maximum allowed rotation speed exceeded (on request) - 7B. Air
filter blocked - 7C. Fuel level low - 7D. Coolant temperature high -
7E. Oil pressure low - 7F. Alternator malfunction - 7G. Engine coolant
level low - 7H. Pre-post heating.
Some types of engine and relevant equipment only make some of the
functions indicated in the key available.
If the machine Manufacturer uses different technical options there may
also be further changes to the above.
