CAUTION
For maximum engine life,
Yanmar recommends that when
shutting the engine down, you
allow the engine to run, without
load, for five minutes. This will
allow the engine components
that operate at high
temperatures, such as the
exhaust system, to cool slightly
before the engine itself is shut
down.
