STOPPING ENGINE 3
NOTICE
If the engine is abruptly stopped before it has cooled
down, engine life may be drastically shortened. Do not
abruptly stop the engine except for an emergency.
If the engine has overheated, do not stop it abruptly, run it
at medium speed allowing the engine to gradually cool
down, then stop it.
1. Lower the work equipment to the ground.
2. Place fuel control dial (1) in the low idle (MIN) position and
run the engine at low idle speed for about 5 minutes to
allow it to gradually cool down.
3. Turn the key in ignition switch (2) to the OFF position (A).
The engine will stop
REMARK
When the key in starting switch (2) is turned to the OFF posi-
tion, the engine stops, but the machine power supply is not cut
immediately.
The power supply is maintained for several seconds to enable
the controller to save the operating condition to memory and
shuts down the system after that. The length of time that the
power supply is maintained depends on the operating condi-
tion.
Even when the cooling fan is being operated in reverse or in
the cleaning mode, the machine power supply is not cut imme-
diately when the key in starting switch (2) is turned to the OFF
position.
The power supply is maintained for seven seconds to protect
the hydraulic circuit. During that time, the fan operation confir-
mation lamp on the monitor panel flashes.
4. Remove the key from starting switch (2).
