Should the engine be running?

This might be a silly question, so thanks in advance for your patience. I can't find the post but I seem to remember reading that the engine should be running when raising or lowering the hydraulic roof.

However, this isn't mentioned in the handbook, and on collection last week the dealer said it wasn't necessary.

So, is it considered good practice to have the engine running when operating the roof, and if so why?

Thanks again.

You don't need the engine running just the ignition on if I was raising and lowering a lot
Without moving I would run the engine. I can't think of an instance when I would keep raising it if I was staying on a site I usually put it up and leave it

Thanks, that's helpful. I thought that would be the case but great to have confirmation.
