Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components. Allow the engine to engine cool down before stopping. Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbocharger shaft and bearing life.
Emergency Stopping
Emergency shutoff controls are for EMERGENCY use ONLY. DO NOT use Emergency shutoff devices or controls for normal stopping procedure.

* Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil level between the ADD and FULL marks on the dipstick.* Repair any leaks, perform minor adjustments, tighten loose bolts, etc.* Note the service hour meter reading. Perform periodic maintenance as instructed in the Maintenance Schedule.* Fill the fuel tank to prevent accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill.
Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended in the Cooling System Specifications of this manual. Failure to do so can cause engine damage.
* Allow the radiator and engine jacket water system to cool. Check the coolant level. Maintain the cooling system to 13 mm (1/2 inch) from bottom of the fill pipe.If freezing temperatures are expected, check the coolant for proper antifreeze protection. The cooling system must be protected against freezing to the lowest expected ambient (outside) temperature. Add the proper coolant and water mixture if necessary.
