NOTES
Adjust the throttle linkage so that the engine
stops when the throttle stick and trim lever
on the transmitter are fully retarded.
Alternatively, the engine may be stopped by
cutting off the fuel supply. Never try to stop
the engine physically.
Take care that loose clothing (ties, shirt
sleeves, scarves, etc.)do not come into
contact with the propeller.Do not carry loose
objects (such as pencils, screwdrivers, etc.)
in a shirt pocket from where they could fall
through the propeller arc.
Do not start your engine in an area
containing loose gravel or sand.
The propeller may throw such material in
your face and eyes and cause injury.
For their safety, keep all onlookers
(especially small children) well back (at
least 20 feet or 6 meters) when preparing
your model for flight. If you have to carry
the model to the take-off point with the
engine running, be especially cautious.
Keep the propeller pointed away from you
and walk well clear of spectators.
Warning! Immediately after a glowplug-
ignition engine has been run and is still
warm, conditions sometimes exist whereby
it is just possible for the engine to abruptly
restart if the propeller is casually flipped
over compression WITHOUT the glowplug
battery being reconnected. Remember this
if you wish to avoid the risk of a painfully
rapped knuckle!

This engine is ideally suited to a variety of R/C
aircraft, including trainer, sports, aerobatic and
scale types.
A separate precision-made needle-valve unit is
installed at the rear, where manual adjustment is
safely remote from the rotating propeller.
The needle-valve assembly can be installed either
horizontally or vertically.
INTRODUCTION
With these engines, the piston will feel tight at the
top of its stroke when the engine is cold. This is
normal. The piston and cylinder are designed to
achieve a perfect running clearance when they
reach their intended running temperature.
Note :
Carefully insert plug, with
washer, fingertight only, before
final tightening with the correct
size plug wrench.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE ENGINE
Installing the glowplug
Connect the short length of fuel tubing (supplied)
securely between the needle-valve outlet and
carburetor inlet as shown in the illustration on the next
page.
In the event of the tubing becoming damaged, it
should be replaced with 54-56mm length of 5mm
ODx2mm ID silicone tubing. Use similar material to
connect the fuel inlet nipple to the fuel tank.
