Engine
Stopping
Stopping
the
Engine
NOTICE
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been
working under load can result in overheating and ac-
celerated wear of the engine components.
If the engine has been operating at high rpm and/or
high loads, run at low idle for at least three minutes to
reduce and stabilize internal engine temperature be-
fore stopping the engine.
Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbo-
charger shaft and bearing life.
Prior to stopping an engine that is being operated at
low loads, operate the engine at low idle for 30
seconds before stopping. If the engine has been
operating at highway speeds and/or at high loads,
operate the engine at low idle for at least three
minutes. This procedure will cause the internal
engine temperature to be reduced and stabilized.
Ensure that the engine stopping procedure is
understood. Stop the engine according to the shutoff
system on the engine or refer to the instructions that
are provided by the OEM.
• To stop the engine, turn the ignition key switch to
the OFF position.

NOTICE
Emergency shutoff controls are for EMERGENCY
use ONLY. DO NOT use emergency shutoff devices
or controls for normal stopping procedure.
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) may

Ensure that any components for the external system
that support the engine operation are secured after
the engine is stopped.

After
Stopping
Engine
Note:
Before
you
check
the
engine
oil,
do
not
operate
the
engine
for
at
least
10
minutes
in
order
to
allow
the
engine
oil
to
return
to
the
oil
pan.
• Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil
level between the
“
ADD
”
mark and the
“
FULL
”
mark on the oil level dipstick.
• If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks and tighten any loose bolts.
• Note the required service interval. Perform the
maintenance that is in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance Interval
Schedule”.
• Fill the fuel tank in order to help prevent
accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended
in the Coolant Specifications that are in the Operation
and Maintenance Manual. Failure to do so can cause
engine damage.
• Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
• If freezing temperatures are expected, check the
coolant for the correct antifreeze protection. The
cooling system must be protected against freezing
to the lowest expected outside temperature. Add
the correct coolant/water mixture, if necessary.
• Perform all required periodic maintenance on all
driven equipment. This maintenance is outlined in
the instructions from the OEM.
