GEAR-BEVEL 1094583 - Caterpillar

Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load, can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components.See the following stopping procedure, to allow the engine to cool, and to prevent excessive temperatures in the turbocharger center housing, which could cause oil coking problems.
Note: Delayed engine Shutdown is the default and recommended way to stop the engine.
While the machine is stopped, run the engine for 5 minutes at low idle. The engine idle allows hot areas of the engine to cool gradually.
