STARTING AND SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE 18.2 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE If you switch off the engine abruptly after heavy opera- tions without prior cool-down period, the service life of the engine may be severely impaired. It is recommended to switch off the engine abruptly only in the event of an emergency. 1 - Check the temperature of the engine with the help of the coolant temperature indicator (1). 2 - If the engine is overheated, you must let it run at medium speed or 5 minutes before you switch it off, so that the en- gine can cool down sufficiently. 3 - Lower the work unit. 4 - Turn the ignition key into its stop position ‘0’ in order to switch off the engine.
5 - Pull the ignition key from the start switch. 75_024 1 83
