8.2 Stopping the motor/engine

WARNING / CAUTION!
Never touch the hot motor / engine parts: this could result in severe burns!

8.2.1

Gasoline

engines

The engine on the unit stops automatically when the fuel tank is empty. However, you should
stop the machine and refuel before this happens.
The following procedure stops the engine manually:

Stopping procedure:
1. Make sure that all connected rescue devices are in base position (starting position).
2. Set the levers on the control valves to neutral position (depressurised).
3. Set the engine switch to the "OFF" position.

8.2.2

Electric

motors

Set the levers on the control valves to neutral position (depressurised).
Pressing the ON/OFF switch on the side of the unit switches the engine off again. The illuminated
ring around the switch goes out.
When the engine is switched off, the connected hydraulic pump stops delivering.

8.1.2

Electric

motors

Before starting the electric motors, check that all electrical connections and cables are in
proper order. First of all, connect the power cable (for motors with power supply) to the
supply socket.
The motor is started by pressing the ON/OFF switch on the side of the unit. The ring around
the switch lights up when the unit is switched on.

CAUTION!
Electric motors draw a brief, very high starting current. When using a generator,
you should therefore check to see that it can supply the relevant current strength.
The power supply must be protected by a 25 A fuse at least.
