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.
Avoid accelerating the engine prior to shutting it
down.
Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbo-
charger shaft and bearing life.
Note:
Individual applications will have different
control systems. Ensure that the shutoff procedures
are understood. Use the following general guidelines
to stop the engine.
1.
Remove the load from the engine. Reduce the
engine speed (rpm) to low idle. Allow the engine to
idle for 5 minutes to cool the engine.
2.
Stop the engine after the cool down period
according to the shutoff system on the engine.
Turn the ignition key switch to the OFF position. If
necessary, refer to the instructions that are
provided by the OEM.
NOTICE
Before any service or repairs are performed, ensure
that the power supply to the engine is disconnected.

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
“
MIN
”
mark and the
“
MAX
”
mark
on the engine oil level gauge.
• If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks and tighten any loose bolts.
• If the engine is equipped with a service hour
meter, note the reading. 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 Refill Capacities and Recommendations topic
that is in this 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 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.
