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.
