Operating Conditions of the Engine  

 
During operation of the engine, it is necessary to monitor the cylinder head and exhaust gas 
temperatures of both cylinders.  So long as the maximum-allowed cylinder head- or exhaust 
gas- temperatures are not exceeded, the engine can be operated at the selected power setting    
(including maximum power) without any time limitation.  Furthermore, it is recommended  
that fuel pressure be monitored during engine operation.  Insufficient fuel pressure can lead to 
loss of performance and cause the engine to miss. 
 

2.5 Engine Shutdown 

 
Before turning the engine off, it should be run at idle power for one minute. Because of the  
fan operation, the cylinder head temperature should go down.  This procedure should always 
be followed, since an engine turned off right after operating at high speed has a tendency to 
overheat.
