STOPPING THE ENGINE
NORMAL CONDITIONS
Let the engine idle for at least one minute prior to stopping the engine to reduce residual heat in
engine components. Not doing this will not harm anything, but gives the engine a chance to
reduce the temperature of many components.
STOPPING THE ENGINE UNDER ABNORMAL CONDITIONS (OVERHEATING)
1. Put engine in NEUTRAL
2. Place gearshift or bucket control lever in Neutral.
3. Turn key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.
4. If the engine is overheating due to loss of coolant, it is best to stop the engine immediately.
5. Once the engine has cooled considerably, check and adjust the oil and coolant levels.
6. When the engine has completely cooled, add your coolant slowly until the heat exchanger is
full.
WARNING:
Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting to remove the heat
exchanger cap. Cover the cap with a thick cloth and slowly turn counterclockwise allowing the pressure
to release SLOWLY. When pressure has been completely released, push down on the cap, turn and
remove.
CAUTION
:
Do not add coolant until the engine has returned to normal temperature. (When you
can place your hand on the engine without burning is usually a good indication).
CAUTION
:
All water must be drained from the raw water side of the heat exchanger when
surrounding environment temperature is below 32
