In this case, assign a professional electrician to switch two of the phase
conductors.
3.4 Starting
Press the start button. In the Y-position the motor starts rotating at slow
speed with low output. The start phase takes several tens of seconds.
As the engine speed increases, the D-position is switched on and the motor
quickly reaches full speed.
The signal light between the start and stop buttons lights up when the D-
position is activated.
NOTE!
The machine must not be operated until the motor has
reached full speed, because in the Y-position the output of the electric
motor is very low.
3.5 Emergency stop of an electric-motor-powered machine
The emergency stop is carried out by depressing the Emergency Stop
button, button B on the starter.
Release the button by turning and pulling up.
3.6 Starting the electric motor in frost
In severe frost, the hydraulic oil or the oil in the angular gear can become so
cold and viscous that the motor cannot be started.
If operating the machine under cold conditions, we recommend that less
viscous hydraulic oils be used.
NOTE!
An electric heating carpet of 300 W with a thermostat is
available as an option for the oil tank. We recommend installing 2–3
carpets in the KS 50 machine. Using the heater is beneficial, if the
machine is operated under cold conditions. The starter is equipped as
standard with a lever switch for the heater. Keeping the heating switched
on for about 1-2 hours is enough to make the oil sufficiently fluent.
