Stopping
Allow the engine to run at low idling speed (in neutral) for at least 5 to 6 minutes before turning it off. This will keep
the engine temperature in balance and prevent it from boiling.
IMPORTANT! The procedure described above
is especially important if the engine has been
run hard and/or exerted to heavy loads.
IMPORTANT! Do not rev up the engine just
before stopping it.
IMPORTANT! If the engine stops abnormally,
try to locate the problem and make the
repairs needed before starting again. After
starting the engine, make sure the engine
runs properly.
Manual stop lever
By pulling the manual stop lever in the “STOP” direc-
tion the engine can be stopped manually. Use this le-
ver only in an emergency when the engine can not be
stopped by the engine control system.
IMPORTANT! When stopping the engine by
pulling the stop lever, continue to pull the le-
ver until the engine stops “rocking.”
Notice: If the engine cannot be stopped with the ma-
nual stop lever, shut off the fuel supply or block air in-
take to turbo.
After stopping

* Check the genset and engine room for leaks.
* Close the fuel cock and rawwater cock.

dule.
