Never touch the hot engine parts: this could result in severe burns.

The engine on the power unit stops automatically when the fuel tank is empty. However, you
should avoid this and switch it off before running to empty to prevent the carburettor from
running dry.
The following procedure is required for stopping the engine manually:

Set the levers of the control valves to the neutral position (depressurised).
The motor is switched off again by pushing the ON/OFF button on the side part again. The
illumination of the switch goes out.
When the motor is switched off, the supply capability of the connected hydraulic pump is
also stopped.

8.1.2

Electric

motors

Before starting the motor, check that all electrical connections and cables are in a good
condition. Then connect the mains cable (for motors with mains power supply) to the supply
socket.
Starting is carried out by pushing the ON/OFF switch on the side part of the power unit. The
ring around the switch lights up when the power unit is switched on.

ATTENTION!
Electric motors pull a very high start-up current for a short period. For this reason,
when using a generator, make sure that it can deliver the appropriate current.
The power supply must be fused with at least a 25 A fuse.
