Cold Weather Startup; Shutdown - Stanley GT18B01 Service Manual

OPERATION

COLD WEATHER STARTUP

1. Use the procedures described under "STARTUP" and
then follow the procedure below.
2. Hydraulic fl uids are thicker in cold weather. Therefore,
it is recommended that the engine be run at low idle long
enough to bring the fl uid temperature up to a minimum of
50°F/10°C.
3. If the tools and tool hoses are cold, it is recommended
to allow hydraulic fl uid to circulate through the tool hoses
until warm before using the tool.

SHUTDOWN

1. Ensure the fl ow selector switch in the OFF position
(center position).
2. Unless already at idle the power unit should return to
idle. This may take a few seconds for the unit to react due
to a built-in program delay.
3. Allow the engine to idle for approximately one minute
and move the Ignition Switch to the OFF position.
