Magnum MTP4000S — Stopping The Pump

Operation · Engine / Pump

For the Magnum MTP4000S, from the Magnum operator's manual.

Applies to: John Deere PE4024TF281 engine

Before you start

  • Do not use the emergency stop switch unless absolutely necessary; stopping the pump suddenly may cause shock waves to be transmitted back to the pump volute
  • If the pump is to remain idle during below freezing conditions, drain the pump to prevent damage from freezing

Procedure

  1. Reduce the engine speed by adjusting the engine throttle.
  2. Allow the engine to idle briefly before switching the engine start switch to the center (OFF) position.
  3. The pump is adequately prepared for outside storage; see STORAGE for extended storage suggestions.
