SEBU8726-03 65 Operation Section Engine Stopping Engine Stopping i05784249 After Stopping Engine i04535875 Stopping the Engine Note: Before you check the engine oil, do not operate the engine for at least 10 minutes. This period will allow the engine oil to return to the oil pan. NOTICE Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load, can result in overheating and ac- celerated wear of the engine components. Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service in- structions may cause personal injury or death.
Avoid accelerating the engine prior to shutting it down. Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbo- charger shaft and bearing life. After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 10 minutes in order to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high-pressure fuel lines before any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. The 10 minute wait will also allow static charge to dissipate from the low-pressure fuel system. If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair any leaks from the low-pressure fuel system and from the cooling, lubrication, or air systems. Replace any high-pressure fuel line that has leaked.
Refer to Disassembly and assembly Manual, “Fuel Injection Lines - Install”. Note: Individual applications will have different control systems. Ensure that the shutoff procedures are understood. Use the following general guidelines in order 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 in order to cool the engine. 2. Stop the engine after the cool down period according to the shutoff system on the engine and turn the ignition key switch to the OFF position. If necessary, refer to the instructions that are provided by the OEM. Check the crankcase oil level.
Maintain the oil level between the MIN mark and the MAX mark on the engine oil level gauge. 3. Wait 60 seconds before the battery disconnect switch is turned off. The engine ECM required power after the keyswitch is turned off. 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”. i01903586 Emergency Stopping Fill the fuel tank, in order to help prevent accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill the fuel tank. NOTICE Emergency shutoff controls are for EMERGENCY use ONLY. DO NOT use emergency shutoff devices or controls for normal stopping procedure.
NOTICE Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Refill Capacities and Recommendations” topic or in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid Recom- mendations” topic. Failure to do so can cause engine damage. The OEM may have equipped the application with an emergency stop button. For more information about the emergency stop button, refer to the OEM information. Ensure that any components for the external system that support the engine operation are secured after the engine is stopped.
