After Engine Shutdown
1 Check the engine and engine compartment for
leaks.
2 Turn off the main switches before any long
stoppage.
3 Carry out maintenance in accordance with the
schedule.
For longer breaks in operation
During longer breaks in operation, it is recommended
that the engine is warmed up at least once every two
weeks. This prevents corrosion in the engine.
If you expect the engine to be unused for two months
or more, it should be conserved. Refer to
Storage, page 87 .
IMPORTANT:
If there is a risk of freezing, the coolant in the cooling
system must have adequate antifreeze protection.
Refer to Maintenance, page 77.
IMPORTANT:
A poorly charged battery can freeze and burst.
Refer to Battery, page 85.
