8. Operation
CAUTION!
The control levers on the hydraulic unit must be shifted to neutral position before
the motor/engine is started to prevent connected hydraulic equipment from
moving unexpectedly.
Levers on units with a Toolholder should only be shifted back after you have
removed the devices from the mount and intend to start work.
8.1 Starting the motor/engine
NOTE:
If the engine refuses to start after several attempts, repeat the procedure
described above with the engine switch set to the "ON" position.
3. When the engine starts, keep hold of the handle on the pull cord starter and allow it to
return to its starting position.
4. Allow the engine to warm up for 20 to 30 seconds and then set the engine switch to the
"ON" position (if previously set to "CHOKE").
Starting procedure:
1. Set the engine switch to the "CHOKE" position
( ) (if the engine is already warm or the ambient
temperature is high, start the engine with the
switch in the "ON" position.)
2. Starting with electric starter:
Press the starter button
Starting with pull cord starter:
Slowly pull the handle on the pull cord starter
beyond the compression point (resistance is felt).
Allow to return to the starting position and pull
again quickly all the way out.
8.1.1 Gasoline engines
Before starting the combustion engines, check that the fuel tank is full and that the engine oil
level is within the permitted tolerances. If necessary, top up the relevant
À uid.
This procedure means that the pump can slowly draw
À uid in and be well vented. The
hydraulic
À uid reservoir is equipped with automatic venting, which means no further
venting measures are required.
4. Check the
À uid levels in the reservoirs again. If necessary, top up the À uid.
5. To conclude, you can now connect the extension hoses and/or hose reels (unless already
connected to the unit) and/or couple the rescue equipment.
