Stop Engine Override

The engine shutdown feature is designed to prevent engine damage from occurring and extending the engine run time during an engine shutdown can cause engine damage. The Stop Engine Override feature allows the operator to override the automatic stop engine sequence. Only use the Stop Engine Override during emergency situations where moving the vehicle to a safe location is critical. It should not be used for extended periods of time. DDEC®, will record the number of times the override is activated after an engine fault occurs.

A Stop Engine Override is used to override the engine shutdown sequence. This override resets the 60 second (30 second for oil pressure) shutdown timer, restoring power to the level when the Stop Engine Indicator was illuminated. The Stop Engine Override switch must be recycled after five seconds to obtain a subsequent override. Continuously activating the Stop Engine Override will not prevent the engine shutdown sequence.

It takes 30 seconds from the time the automatic shutdown sequence begins until engine shutdown. Therefore, the operator must select the override just prior to engine shutdown and continue to do so until the vehicle can be brought to a stop in a safe location. Once the vehicle is in a safe location do not continue to run the engine. The operator has the responsibility to take action to avoid equipment damage.
