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. Turn the key to stop position “S” or press the stop but-
ton.
3. Hold the key/button in position until the engine has
stopped (the key will return to “0” automatically when
released and can then be removed).
Emergency stop
If a fault occurs that prevents the engine being stopped by
the normal method, it can be stopped manually using the
lever on the injection pump. Pull back on the lever until the
engine is stationary.
WARNING! Working on or approaching a running en-
gine is a safety hazard. Beware of rotating parts and
hot surfaces.
After stopping
1. Check the engine and engine room for leaks.
2. Close the fuel cock and seawater cock.
IMPORTANT! Do not forget to open the cocks be-
fore starting the engine again.
3. Read off the hour counter and carry out preventive
maintenance according to the maintenance schedule.
4. Turn off the main switch if the engine is not to be used
for long periods.
IMPORTANT! Never turn the power off using the
main switch while the engine is running. This can
damage the alternator.
