It is recommended that the fuel be poured into the tank using a straining-type of funnel. Fill the tank
with the desired amount of fuel. Tighten the fuel cap securely.
NOTE:
Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately, as the fuel/oil mixture is highly flammable, and an in-
flight fire would be catastrophic. Also, the oil will leave a residue, which will attract and retain dust
and dirt.
WARNING!
Use common sense when refueling. Do not refuel a hot or running engine, do not smoke
or allow on-lookers to smoke while refueling. Do not refuel near heat or open flame.
3.2 Before Starting the Engine
Before starting the engine on the ground, ensure that the unit is in an area free from dirt, rocks, dust, etc.
that could be sucked up and thrown around by the propeller.
Check assembly of the unit, and especially check any and all nuts, bolts, and screws, that could be
loose. Also check all parts of the prop cage for looseness. The prop produces a significant amount of
thrust, and can suck things into it from a surprising distance.
WARNING!
Ensure that no bystanders or onlookers are close by when starting the motor. The most
dangerous place to stand is in the plane of the propeller. This is where dust, dirt, rocks, nuts, bolts, etc.
will be thrown if they are picked up by the prop.
At full RPM, the prop tips are moving in excess of 370mph, and pushing the air rearward at over
62mph. This amount of force can pick up anything loose in the area and throw it around like a bullet.
Not only can it severely injure you or bystanders, even small items like dirt or a loose screw can inflict
significant damage to the prop.
3.3 Starting and Stopping Engine
3.3.1 Stopping the Engine
Since it’s important to know how to stop the engine once it’s started, let’s cover “Stopping the Engine”
first. To stop the engine, simply depress the “STOP” button (fig. 17 - "A" ) and hold it until the engine
comes to a complete stop.
