2.3.6 Stopping the engine
1) Gradually cool down the engine at low idling for about 5
minutes.
IMPORTANT
• Do not bring a hot engine to a sudden stop except for an emergency. This will
shorten the life of its component parts.
• Do not also allow an overheated engine to come to a sudden stop, but run it at
middle idling speed for gradual cooling down.
2) Turn the starter key to the position to stop the engine.
CAUTION
Do not turn the starter switch while the
machine is in motion.
3) Remove the starter key.
WARNING
• When dismounting from the machine, apply the brake by pressing the parking
switch button. If necessary to park on a grade, chock the wheels to prevent
unexpected moving down the grade.
• Never fail to remove the starter key
2.3.7 Check after stopping the engine
1) Perform the walk-around checks for oil and water leakage, abnormal signs around the
drums.
2) Fill the fuel tank.

hazard.
