Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a Saito
4-cycle engine. When cared for
properly, these high-quality, finely
crafted engines offer many years of
modeling enjoyment.
This instruction manual has been
developed to ensure optimum
performance from the Saito engine you
have purchased. The instructions must
be read through completely and
understood thoroughly prior to
mounting and running the engine.
Safety lnstruct
ions
This model engine will give you
considerable pleasure, satisfaction, and
performance if you strictly follow
these safety instructions and take heed
of the warnings as to its safe and
proper use. Remember at all times
it is not a toy,
but a precision-built
machine with more than enough power
to cause harm if misused or if the
safety precautions are not observed.
You
should
always:
1. Mount the engine securely in a
“bench mount” or
motor
mount. Never clamp the engine in
a vice.
2.
When running the engine, be sure
all spectators, especially children, are
at least
20
feet away.
3.
Use the correct size and pitch
of propeller for your engine; refer
to the “Propeller Chart” on page
16
of
this manual.
4.
It is extremely important to balance
the propeller prior to installation of the
engine. Failure
to
do so may cause
damage to the Saito engine and/or the
airframe. Install the propeller with the
convex (curved) side facing forward.
Securely tighten the propeller nut
against the washer and propeller. An
nut (or “jam” nut) is
suggested for all 4-cycle engines.
5. Inspect the tightness of the propeller
nut prior to each flight.
6.
Keep your face and body away
from the path of the propeller blades
when starting or running your engine.
7. Never allow your hands
to
come
close to the propeller. Utilize either
a “chicken stick” or electric starter to
start the engine.
8.
Discard any propeller that is nicked,
scratched, cracked
or
damaged in any
way.
9.
Make all carburetor adjustments
from behind the propeller.
10. To stop
the engine, cut off the fuel
supply (pinch or disconnect the fuel
line to the carburetor) or use the
throttle linkage to shut off the air.
