STOPPING THE ENGINE
NORMAL CONDITIONS
Let the engine idle for at least one minute prior to stopping the engine to reduce
residual heat in engine components. Not doing this will not harm anything, but
gives the engine a chance to reduce the temperature of many components.
STOPPING THE ENGINE UNDER ABNORMAL CONDITIONS (Overheating)
1. Put engine in NEUTRAL.
2. Place gearshift or bucket control lever in Neutral.
3. Turn key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.
4. If the engine is overheating due to loss of coolant, it is best to stop the engine
immediately.
5. Check and adjust the oil and coolant levels.
6. Once the engine has cooled considerably, add your coolant slowly until the heat
exchanger is full.
WARNING: Allow the engine to cool at least a few minutes before
attempting to remove the heat exchanger cap. Cover the cap with a thick
cloth and slowly turn counterclockwise allowing the pressure to release
SLOWLY. When pressure has been completely released, push down on the
cap, turn and remove.
CAUTION: Do not add coolant until the engine has returned to normal
temperature. (When you can place your hand on the engine without burning
is usually a good indication).
