Running an engine with a propeller represents great
hazards. Always follow these safety precautions:
• Wear safety glasses, ear protectors and gloves.
• Don’t wear a tie, loose sleeves or other loose textile
while using the unit. In case of long hair, wear your hair
under a hat.
• Before starting the engine, always check the mounting of
the unit to the platform.
• ONLY use the unit outside or in a well-ventilated room.
• When running the engine indoor, make sure the exhaust
gases are directed to outdoors. Stay away from exhaust
gases at all times.
• Start the engine only using the spinner driver and an
electric starting device.
• Keep clear of the safety guard. NEVER stick your fingers
or anything else through the safety guard.
• Only make engine adjustments when the engine is not
running. Stop the engine by fully closing the carburetor.
• Avoid touching the cylinder head or the exhaust pipe as
this may cause serious burns

1. Securely mount the spinner driver in an electric drill,
and then put the rubber insert in the end of the spinner
driver. Set the drill to “reverse” direction (counter-
clockwise). A minimum of 2000RPM is required to start
the engine.
