Stopping the engine
Let the engine run at low idling speed (in neutral) for at least three minutes before turning it off. This will keep the
engine temperature in balance and prevent it boiling.
IMPORTANT! The procedure described above is especially important if the engine has been run hard and/
or exerted to heavy loads.
Stop
1. Disengage the reverse gear by moving the lever to neu-
tral position.
2. Press the red STOP button.
The STOP button can be released at once. The stop
function is active for a preset time. A red LED in the
STOP button indicates that the stop function is active.
3. Turn the key to the “0” position.
Emergency stop
If a fault occurs that prevents the engine being stopped by
the normal method, it can be stopped using the ”Emergen-
cy stop” button.
The emergency stop activates a fuel shut-off valve togeth-
er with the normal stop (stop solenoid).
After stopping
l
Check the engine and engine room for leaks.
l
Close the fuel cocks and the seawater cock.
IMPORTANT! Do not forget to open the cocks
before starting the engine again.
l
Read off the hour counter and carry out preventive
maintenance according to the maintenance schedule.
l
Turn off the main switches if the engine is not to be
used for long periods.
IMPORTANT! Never turn the power off using the
main switches while the engine is running. This
can damage the generator.
