DD Platform EuroV Operators Manual Stopping the Engine Stop an engine under normal operating conditions as follows: NOTICE: Do not stop a turbocharged engine immediately after a high- speed operation. Allow a sufficient cool-down period of about five minutes to prevent the turbocharger from continuing to turn without an oil supply to the bearings or damage can result. 1. Reduce engine speed to idle and put all shift levers in the neutral position. NOTE: Cool-down idling needs to take place after pulling off an interstate. When finding a parking spot or backing into a dock, immediate shutdown should be avoided.
Shutting the engine off immediately retains more block heat than if the engine runs at idle for five minutes. 2. Allow the engine to run between idle and 1000 rpm with no load for five minutes. This allows the engine to cool and permits the turbocharger to slow down. After five minutes, shut down the engine. Emergency Jump Starting The engine's electronic system operates on 12 volts DC. If a DD Platform engine with an electric starting motor requires emergency jump starting, DO NOT EXCEED 16 VOLTS DC. WARNING: BATTERY EXPLOSION To avoid injury from battery explosion when jump starting the engine, do not attach the cable end to the negative terminal of the disabled battery. WARNING:
Battery Explosion and Acid Burn To avoid injury from battery explosion or contact with battery acid, work in a well ventilated area, wear protective clothing, and avoid sparks or flames near the battery. If you come in contact with battery acid: Flush your skin with water. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid. Flush your eyes with water. Get medical attention immediately. NOTICE: Jump starting with voltages greater than those indicated or reversing battery polarity may damage the MCM.
