STARTING AND SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE 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 in order to switch off the engine. 5.
