Safety – Read before operating engine 

 

Danger:

 Jet engine exhaust can set fire to flammable materials such as dry grass, fabric, 

fuel, wood, etc.  Ensure your model is well protected from the jet exhaust and keep all 

flammable materials away from the exhaust of the engine.  Do not use the engine 

where fire bans exist. 

Danger:

 Turbine rotates at very high rpm.  In case of failure or ingestion of foreign 

objects, parts can be ejected from the engine, causing injury or death.  DO NOT stand 

directly beside the engine while starting or running. 

 Danger:

 Do NOT modify the engine in any way.  This could lead to failure of the engine 

rotor and injury or death. 

 

 Danger:

 Engine emits fumes which are not breathable.  Only run the engine in a well 

ventilated space. 

 

Warning:

 Engine has high speed rotating parts.  Keep fingers well clear of engine inlet 

and outlet while connected to power supply. 

 

Warning:

 Jet engine inlet has high suction.  Loose objects can be drawn in leading to 

failure of the engine.  Keep hands clear of the engine inlet as fingers can be sucked into 

the engine.  Protect your engine with a screen (FOD screen). 

 

Warning:

 Jet engines are very noisy during operation.  Wear hearing protection when 

operating the engine.  

 

Warning:

 Engine will be hot during and after operation.  The rear part of the engine 

and the exhaust can reach temperatures up to 700 C.  Keep clear.
