Hammer Engines GmbH / IQ-Series / Instruction Manual
Only test the jet engine at suitable places outdoor and observe the applicable laws
and regulations.
Always enforce the proper minimum safe distance from the turbine:
- Never look straight into the exhaust jet and never touch it or the exhaust stream with
your hands.
- Whenever possible, wear hearing protection.
- Keep away from the engine intake (electric starter). The air stream has an enormous
suction power, which can lead to severe injuries.
- After the first installation, and afterwards in regular intervals, test the transmission
range of your R/C system with the jet engine running. Before operating the engine,
remove all loose objects near the engine intake, such as cleaning cloths, screws, nuts,
cables or other material. Before operating your model for the first time, make sure that
there are no loose objects in the engine intake, such as clippings, screws or debris from
building the model. Such objects can damage the turbine. When installing the engine
in your aircraft model, cover the engine intake and exhaust opening, for example with
adhesive tape, to keep clippings and other objects from entering the engine.
-
Add 5 % of AeroShell 500 or AeroShell 560 turbine oil to the fuel. Use of a different
oil or a different mix-ratio will void the warranty.
