4.5 Stopping the PowerKit Engine
Avoid shutting down the engine at full load. Before the shut-down, engine load and should be
reduced, and the engine should operate at low-load condition for 3 to 5 minutes. This allows
the piston, cylinder head, liner, bushing and turbocharger to cool down, avoiding cylinder and
bearing damage. This is particularly important for turbocharged engines because the bearing
and oil seal in the turbocharger can be affected by the high temperature of the exhaust gas.
When the engine is running, the heat will be transferred away by the cycling lubricating oil.
When the engine shuts down suddenly, the turbocharger temperature will increase greatly and
cause the bearing or the oil seal to fail.
Turn the key switch to position “0” or
press the stop button to stop running of
engine, till the engine
stops rotation or
the speed indicator on the instrument
panel points zero.
For the engines that don't use anti-
freeze in the engine coolant, drain the
coolant after shut-down in cold weather
to prevent freezing damage to the
engine. The draining valve under the oil
cooler can be used to drain the water
inside the engine. The drain plug on the
radiator should also be removed to
discharge the coolant in the radiator.
