SMCS Code: 1000-7000.
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components.If the engine has been operating at high rpm and/or high loads, run at low idle for at least three minutes to reduce and stabilize internal engine temperature before stopping the engine.Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbocharger shaft and bearing life.
1. To allow the engine to gradually cool, operate the engine at low idle for three minutes. 2. Turn the engine start switch key to the OFF position to stop the engine.
Never turn the battery disconnect switch key to the OFF position with the engine running. Electrical system damage could result.
3. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. Remove the disconnect key. 4. If the machine is parked, block the wheels.5. Drain the water from the air tanks. Refer to the topic Air Tank Moisture and Sediment - Drain.Stopping the Engine if an Electrical Malfunction Occurs
