Hello André,
It'll help if you give us some specifics: 450 or 451, to start with...
Did you contact the Dealer?

Then, let me move your thread/question to the appropriate sub-forum... Hope you'll get an answer soon. Be patient, we don't have as many 450's owners than 451...
Thanks.

Is this electrical power or engine power? That should narrow it down a little.
