Keep all engine fuel in a safe place, away from
high heat, sparks or flames, as fuel is very
flammable. Do not smoke near the engine or
fuel; and remember that engine exhaust gives
off a great deal of deadly carbon monoxide.
Therefore,
do not run the engine in a closed
room or garage.
Get help from an experienced pilot when
learning to operate engines.
Use safety glasses when starting or running
engines.
Do not run the engine in an area of loose gravel
or sand; the propeller may throw such material
in your face or eyes.
Keep your face and body as well as all
spectators away from the plane of rotation of
the propeller as you start and run the engine.
Keep these items away from the prop: loose
clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or
loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers
that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets into
the prop.
Use a “chicken stick” or electric starter to start
the engine. Do not use your fingers to flip the
propeller. Make certain the glow plug clip or
connector is secure so that it will not pop off or
otherwise get into the running propeller.
Make all engine adjustments from behind the
rotating propeller.
The engine gets hot! Do not touch it during or
right after operation. Make sure fuel lines are in
good condition so fuel will not leak onto a hot
engine, causing a fire.
To stop a glow engine, cut off the fuel supply by
closing off the fuel line or following the engine
manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not use
hands, fingers or any other body part to try to
stop the engine. To stop a gasoline powered
engine an on/off switch should be connected to
the engine coil. Do not throw anything into the
propeller of a running engine.
