NITROUS OXIDE INJECTION SYSTEM SAFETY TIPS 

 

WARNINGS 

 
Do not attempt to start the engine if the nitrous has been injected while the engine was not running.  Disconnect the 
coil wire and turn the engine over with the throttle wide open for several revolutions before attempting to start.  Failure 
to do so can result in extreme engine damage. 
 
Never permit oil, grease, or any other readily combustible substances to come in contact with cylinders, valves, 
solenoids, hoses, and fittings.  Oil and certain gases (such as oxygen and nitrous oxide) may combine to produce a 
highly flammable condition. 
 
Never interchange nitrous and fuel solenoids.  Failure to follow these simple instructions can result in extreme engine 
damage and/or personal injury.
