Raider Running _____________________________________________________
a. Fuels (Multi-fuel)
The Raider can run on jet fuels (JP-5/8), diesel fuel, kerosene, gasoline or gasohol/ethanol.
There is no knob or valves to turn. If you switch from one fuel to another fuel the Raider en-
gine will operate during transition. When using the twin engine configuration it is recom-
mended similar fuels are used.
b. Raider Break in
10 Hours. The Raider has provided the break in at the factory. The most critical time in the life of the
Raider engine is the first 10 hours of operation. Correct operation during this break-in period will pro-
long the life of the engine and ensure optimum performance. The procedures we follow are shown
below.
