(5000 rpm), so that the engine warms up.
▪ the engine is run at ambient temperatures
below 5 °C for 3 minutes at nominal speed
(5000 rpm), so that the engine warms up.
After this time period, the engine speed is regu-
lated by the ESC to a respective operating speed
depending on the connected devices and the
related load.
