Stopping The Engine

Idle the engine a few minutes before routine shutdown.

After full load operation, idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes

before shutting it down. This idle period will allow the

lubricating oiland coolant to carry excess heat away from

the combustion chamber, bearings, internal components,

and turbocharger. This is especially important for turbo-

charged, charge air cooled engines.

NOTE: During engine shut down on vehicles equipped

with manual transmissions, it is normal for the diesel

engine to resonate heavily for a moment during engine

shut off. When the engine is connected to a manual

transmission, this resonance causes load gear rattle from

the transmission. This is commonly referred to as “shut

down rattle”. The manufacturer recommends performing

engine shut down with the clutch pedal pushed to the

floor (clutch disengaged). When engine shut down is

performed in this manner the rattle is reduced (not

eliminated).
