How to stop the engine
Turn the engine start key to the "OFF" position.
It is recommended that the engine is operated at idle speed for three to five minutes before the engine is
stopped. This will allow the lubricating oil and the coolant to carry the heat away from large ferrous
components.
Adjustment of engine speed range
The idle or maximum speed settings cannot be changed by the engine operator.
Engine operation at idle speed
Do not operate the engine for long periods at idle speed as this could have an adverse affect on the engine
performance or damage the engine.
Running-in
A gradual running-in of a new engine is not necessary. Prolonged operation at light loads during the early life
of the engine is not recommended.
Maximum load can be applied to a new engine as soon as the engine is put into service and the coolant
temperature has reached a minimum of 76 °C (170 °F).
z
Do not operate the engine at high speeds without a load.
z
Do not overload the engine.
Altitude
The engine management system will automatically compensate for altitude.
