7.6 Switching
off
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to engine run-on!
After switching off, the engine runs on for approx.
10 to 20 seconds.
Therefore:
– Wait until the engine is at a standstill before
starting all work.
CAUTION!
Engine damage due to premature switching off!
Switching off under load can reduce the lifetime of
the engine.
Therefore:
– During full load operation, let the engine idle for
approx. 5 minutes without load before switching
off.
