stopping.
2. After the diesel engine stops, you must turn the ignition switch to the center
position (in engines used in generators this is not required).
3. In winter, when the environmental temperature is below 5°C: After engine
stops, (check the water temperature is below 60°C), open the radiator water
valve, remove the cooling water to prevent freezing inside the machine.
There is no need to draw water if antifreeze fluid was added to the water or
permanent water heater is used.
