Section 3 - USE OF THE ENGINE
3.1 CHARGING / DISCHARGING THE OIL IN THE GEARBOX
ATTENTION:
The engine is supplied without oil in the gearbox. Before starting the engine fill
the gearbox with “IAME EP100” motor oil.
Starting the engine with a dry gearbox will damage the gears beyond repair
- charging the gearbox:
Put the engine in horizontal position, unscrew
the oil plug (n°1 on the picture), and oil level
plug (n°2 on the picture), fill with oil until it
comes out from the oil level plug (approx. oil
quantity in the gearbox = 33 cc).
Exclusively use “IAME EP100”motor oil
- check the oil level
The oil level can be checked by placing the
engine in horizontal position and unscrewing
the oil level plug. If the level is correct you
should see a light outcome of oil, otherwise
top up.
- discharge the oil
Unscrew the oil level plug (n°3 on the picture)
and loosen the oil drain plug to let air in the
gearbox.
3.2 GASOLINE AND OIL
Use leaded (super) or unleaded (green) gasoline, mixed with oil at 4%.
It is possible to use synthetic oils or oils containing Castor oil. As Castor Oils create
gummy residues it is necessary to check and clean, at least every 10 hrs, the piston
and the head.
Our experience dictates use of oils, such as:
SHELL ADVANCE RACING X
ELF HTX 909
Once the fuel tank is filled, make sure that the gasoline reaches the carburettor (or the
pump - F4 version -) before starting the engine.
Never use the electric starter to suck the gasoline as this could discharge the battery.
SUGGESTION:
Disconnect the plastic tube on the carb. and the vent tube on the tank and
pressurize the vent tube, until the gasoline comes out from the tube on the carb.
Make sure that there is no air in the tube. Connect the tube on the carb. and on
the vent.
