10.3 Stopping the engine
Emergency stop
To stop the engine in an emergency situation, move the
engine switch (23) to the OFF position.
Switching off under normal conditions:
1. Return the shift lever (26) to the idle position to
stop the plate compactor from moving.
2. Move the throttle lever (2) to the "Idle" position to
reduce the engine speed.
3. Let the engine cool down for a minute or two be-
fore stopping it.
4. Move the ON/OFF switch (23) to the "OFF" posi-
tion.
m ATTENTION!
Do not move the choke lever (16) to the "closed" po-
sition to stop the engine. This can lead to a misfire or
engine damage.
10.4 Idle speed
Reducing the engine speed when idling extends the
engine's operating time, saves petrol and reduces the
noise level of the plate compactor.
1. Move the throttle (2) to the "idle" position to reduce
the load on the engine when not compacting.
