Nebenbestimmung „Bei Ausfall eines Drehzahlgebers hat der Triebfahrzeugführer beim nächsten Halt den betroffenen Fahrmotor durch ***Auslegen*** des Motorschutzschalters „MSS_FAHRMOTORLUEFTER“ des entsprechenden Fahrmotorlüfters auszugruppieren.“

Is Auslegen here 'turn off' or 'deactivate'? I'm stumped. TIA!
