3.3.13 Switching off the engine
NOTICE
Turning the engine off immediately after working at heavy load
without letting it cool down first may significantly reduce the
engine's service life. Do not switch off the engine suddenly unless
in an emergency.
1. Check the engine temperature at the coolant temperature
gauge (1).
2. If the engine overheats, run it without load at a medium speed
for 5 minutes before switching it off, so that the engine can
cool down.
3. Lower the working equipment.
4. Turn the starting switch to the 'A' (OFF) position to stop the
engine.
5. Remove the key from the starting switch.
3.3.14 Checks after switching off the engine
1. Walk around the machine and check the work equipment, the
chassis, and the undercarriage. Also check for oil and water
leakage. Immediately repair any defects.
2. Fill the fuel tank.
3. Remove combustible material from the engine area, as it is a
fire hazard.
4. Remove coarse dirt from the undercarriage.
