Engine Shutdown
During longer breaks in operation, the engine must be warmed up at least once every two weeks. This prevents
corrosion in the engine. If you expect the engine to remain unused for two months or more, it must be laid up:
Refer to the chapter
Storage page 61
.
Before Engine Shutdown
Let the engine run for a few minutes without loading
before stopping it. This allows engine temperature
equalization and prevents boiling once stopped and
also allows the turbocharger to cool down. This con-
tributes to long service life without malfunctions.
Stop the Engine
•
Disengage the clutch (if possible).
•
Depress the
STOP
-button (5).
After Engine Shutdown
1 Check the engine and engine bay for leakage.
2 Turn off the main switches before any long stop-
page.
3 Carry out maintenance in accordance with the
schedule.
For longer breaks in operation

warmed up at least once every two weeks. This pre-
vents corrosion attacks in the engine.
If you expect the engine to be unused for two months
or more, it must be laid up. Refer to the chapter
