2.3.6 Stopping the engine
1) Gradually cool down the engine at low idling for about 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT
• Do not bring a hot engine to a sudden stop except for an emergency. This will
shorten the life of its component parts.
• Do not also allow an overheated engine to come to a sudden stop, but run it at
middle idling speed for gradual cooling down.
2) Turn the starter key to the OFF position to stop the engine.
CAUTION
While travelling, do not turn the starter switch OFF.
3) Pull off the starter switch key.
WARNING
• When dismounting from the machine, apply the parking brake by actuating the
parking brake switch. If necessary to park on a slope, chock the drums.
• Remove the starter switch key.
