LAMP ASSEMBLY 2C8124 - 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.

(966M - 982M Only)Engine Idle Shutdown (If Enabled)
The engine can shut down if all of the following conditions exist:
The machine was warm when started
The engine is left idling with the transmission in neutral
No implement control movement
No right pedal movement
Engine idle shutdown is enabled in the monitoring system.The control limits the engine speed to 1000 rpm at 20 seconds before shutdown and turns on the action lamp. An alarm sounds for 20 seconds before the engine shuts down.An operator can move one of the controls in order to cancel a shutdown. Using the left brake pedal to cancel a shutdown is the recommended option for the operator.Reference: Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Operator Controls", “Engine Idle Shut Down” section for more information.In order to restart the engine after an engine idle shut down, the keyswitch must be moved into the Off position. Then turn the keyswitch back to the On or Start positionDelayed Engine Shut Down
The Delayed Engine Shutdown allows the engine to run for a time after the engine start switch is turned to the OFF position to cool the engine and system components. The engine start switch key may be removed.Note: The DEF purge process will run for 2 minutes once the engine is shut down and must complete. The purge process may occur during delayed engine shutdown. Do not turn off battery disconnect switch during the purge process. Do not turn off the battery power disconnect switch until the battery disconnect switch indicator lamp has turned off. If the purge process does not complete, a diagnostic code will become active.Note: There may be regulations that define the requirements for the operator and/or support personnel to be present when the engine is running.
