Stopping the Engine
Remove the load from the engine.
In order to cool down the engine at high idle and no load, turn the Engine Control Switch to the STOP position. This will allow the engine to run for the preset cool down time before shutdown. If cooling down the engine at high idle and at no load is not desired, proceed to Step 3.
Reduce the engine speed to low idle. On 60 Hz units, low idle is approximately 66% of the full load speed. On 50 Hz units, low idle is approximately 80% of the full load speed. If the governor has an electric motor, push down on the Governor Switch until low idle is achieved. On electronic governors, turn down the Speed Potentiometer until low idle is achieved. For manual governors, move the Governor Control lever to the low idle position.
While the engine is at low idle, measure the engine oil level. Oil level must be maintained between the "ADD" and "FULL" marks on the "Engine Running" side of the dipstick. Note: On 3200 Series engines, the oil level cannot be measured while the engine is running.
In order to allow the engine to cool down, run the engine at low idle for approximately five minutes. After the engine cools, turn the Engine Control Switch to the Off/Reset position. Emergency Stopping
Reset and Check Emergency Stop Switches
If the emergency stop switch was used to shut down the engine, it will be necessary to reset the switch. In order to reset the switch, pull out the switch and rotate the button in a clockwise direction. Note: Before starting, check the emergency stop buttons that are located on the engine junction box (if equipped). If the emergency stop button was used to stop the engine, reset the air shutoff (if equipped). Before starting the engine, correct the problem that necessitated the emergency stop.

Note: When the keyswitch (14) is in the RUN position, do not turn the keyswitch to the START position. The keyswitch must be turned to the STOP position prior to being turned again to the START position.
Prior to starting, perform all inspections. Refer to Safety Section, "Before Starting Engine".
To crank the engine, turn the keyswitch (14) to the START position and hold the keyswitch in the START position.Note: If the engine does not start, hold the keyswitch (14) in the start position and move the starting aid switch (10) (if equipped) to the ON position. Keep both the switches in these positions until the engine starts. After
