Safety Instructions
We recommend that you never operate the motor or fly alone.
Always be very aware of the propeller and its dangers while operating the motor.
Avoid distractions and loose clothing. It is always a good idea to paint the
propeller tips white or yellow - propellers are near invisible when spinning.
Loose items or material can be drawn into the turning prop causing injury or
damage.
Always operate the motor in an open or well ventilated area.
These motors develop substantial thrust levels so ensure that the aircraft or test
bench is properly secured when starting or operating the motor. Regularly check
the motor and propeller mounting bolts.
It may be wise to wear ear protection during extended ground running.
Always keep people and animals behind the propeller arc, not in front or to the
side of the propeller and keep spectators at a safe distance away when operating
the motor.
Stop the motor before making any adjustments.
Always use the correct length propeller bolts, not too long or too short. Spinner
cones must never touch the propeller - maintain at least a 1mm clearance all
around.
We recommend the use of an ignition kill switch to stop the motor as well as
setting up the carburetor linkage so that the motor will stop when the throttle and
trim is completely closed
Petrol is flammable. Be aware of potential sources of sparks from electrical
contacts such as fuel pumps, battery chargers, etc. Store fuel in appropriate
containers and mix or use in well ventilated areas.
The ignition system develops extremely high voltage. Do not touch it during
operation.
Primed engines have been known to fire (from standstill) when the ignition is
switched on. Please stay clear of the propeller when switching on the ignition
