Stopping the engine immediately after the engine has been working under load can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components. Allow the engine to 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 control for normal stopping procedure.
Make sure that any external system components that have been operating to support engine operation are secured after any stop.Emergency Stop Pushbutton (ESPB)
Control panel emergency stop pushbutton (ESPB).Press the emergency stop pushbutton (ESPB) for an emergency stop. Both the ESBP and the ECS must be reset before resuming operation. In order to reset the ESPB, turn the button in the direction of the arrows that are stamped on the button. The spring loaded button will move out to the reset position. In order to reset the ECS, turn the ECS to the OFF/RESET position.
ECS in the OFF/RESET position.The ECS can also be used to shut the engine off in an emergency. Move the ECS to the OFF/RESET position. The engine will immediately shut off.Manual Stop Procedure
There may be several ways to shut off your engine. Make sure the shutoff procedures are understood. Use the following general guidelines for stopping the engine. If the ECS is in the AUTO position and the remote contact opens, the engine will run for a programmed cool down period. This will only occur when the cool down mode is programmed. If the cool down mode is not used, the engine will shut off immediately.1. Open the main electrical circuit breaker to remove the load.2. The engine should be run for a cool down period before being shut off. This can be accomplished with the COOLDOWN/STOP function, or the operator can control the cool down and shut off.To use the COOLDOWN/STOP function, turn the ECS to the COOLDOWN/STOP position. The engine will operate for a programmed time period. The timer will activate the fuel shutoff after the cool down period.Alternatively, after removing the load, allow the engine to run at rated speed for a cool down period of five minutes. Then turn the ECS to the OFF/RESET position, and the engine will immediately shut off.After Stopping the Engine
* 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 coolant/antifreeze mixtures recommended in the Coolant 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 freeze protection. The cooling system must be protected against freezing
