15.10 Positive Air Shutoff Valve
Description
Diesel engines may occasionally continue to run even after the machine has been
turned off. This “runaway” condition occurs when combustible intake air is drawn
into the engine. Pressing the emergency stop switch alone will not stop a runaway
engine.
Some models include a positive air shutoff valve (a). Activating the positive air
shutoff valve blocks the flow of air into the engine intake and stops the engine from
running.
Operation
To activate the positive air shutoff valve, pull the T-handle (b) located next to the
voltage selector switch. The valve will reset automatically after activation.
