8. Operation
ATTENTION!
The control levels on the hydraulic power units should always be switched to
the neutral position prior to starting the motor in order to prevent unwanted
movements of connected hydraulic equipment for safety reasons.
8.1 Starting the engines
NOTE:
If the engine does not start after several attempts to start it, repeat the
procedure described above with the engine switch in the "ON" position.
5. Guide the handle on the cable-pull starter back into the starting position with your hand.
6. After 20 to 30 seconds warming up, turn the engine switch to the "ON" position (if it was
previously set to "CHOKE").
Engine starting procedure:
3. Set the engine switch to the "CHOKE" position
( ) (if the engine is warmed up, or if the ambient
temperature is higher, start the engine with the
switch in the "ON" position.)
4. Starting with the electric starter:
Push the starter button
Starting with the cable-pull starter:
Pull the handle on the cable-pull starter slowly up
to over the compression point (resistance is felt).
Allow it to go back to the starting position and then
pull it sharply all the way.
8.1.1 Petrol engines
Before starting the combustion engines, check that the fuel tank is full and that the engine
oil level is within the permitted tolerances (petrol engines). If necessary, top up the relevant
fl uid (see also the operating instructions of the engine manufacturer in the scope of supply).
b) Electric motor (mains operation):
- switch the motor on and switch it off again after approx. 15 seconds. Repeat
this process several times. (Before switching back on, the motor must be at a
standstill!)
This procedure makes sure that the pump draws fl uid slowly and is well bled. The hydraulic
fl uid tank is equipped with automatic bleeding, so that additional bleeding measures are
not required.
4. Check the levels of fl uid in the tanks again. If necessary, you should top up with fl uid.
