- If the engine is stopped by the air shut off valves, the cause must be checked immediately.
Procedure
- Allow the engine to run for 3 to 5 minutes with no load to remove heat from the turbochargers, bearings and seals.
- Turn the start key to position (A1) to stop the engine automatically.
- Alternatively, hold the stop control lever in the stop position (B) until the engine is stopped.
