2 Safety Information
JET CENTRAL turbine engines are in there own right a single stage centrifugal flow gas turbine engine,
configured to operate as a turbojet engine for use mainly, but not exclusively, in remotely piloted fixed
wing aircraft. Such aircraft and their control systems must be appropriately designed and constructed to
be compatible with the performance of the turbojet engine.
NOTE: The airworthiness, structural design, integrity of the aircraft and its control systems are the entire
responsibility of the owner/builder/operator. JET CENTRAL and its agents cannot accept responsibility for
any failure, structural or otherwise, of the aircraft or its control systems. JET CENTRAL and its agents
cannot accept responsibility for any inappropriate or unauthorized use of the JET CENTRAL engine.
The JET CENTRAL gas turbine engine is a very safe, easy to operate unit. The JET CENTRAL turbine is
a state of the art gas turbine engine and all components are manufactured within the highest standards. If
operated and maintained correctly it will provide years of reliable, trouble-free service, with low
maintenance.
It cannot however, be stressed enough, that the operating instructions are to be fully understood
before attempting to operate your engine. Any alterations to the engine whatsoever, without the
written consent of JET CENTRAL, will render any warranty null and void and as a consequence
the controlling body in your country may not grant approval for use.
JET CENTRAL gas turbines are high performance turbojet engines that need discipline and commitment
to correct and safe operation. With other persons present
ALWAYS ENFORCE THE PROPER SAFE
DISTANCES FROM THE TURBINE WHILE IN OPERATION .
The recommended minimum safe distances are:
In front of the turbine: 15 feet (4.6 m)
Beside of the turbine: 25 feet (7.6 m)
Behind the turbine: 25 feet (7.6 m)
CAUTION: Extreme Suction Hazard, which can grasp a hand, fingers or other objects in a moment,
prevails around the intake area. Always be aware of this danger!
NOTE: The supplied FOD screen must be used to maintain warranty and to reduce the hazards to
operators. Additionally it will aid in the prevention of foreign materials from entering the intake of the
turbine during operation. Before operation, make sure there are no lose parts or debris near the turbine.
When the turbine is running never place your hands closer than 6 inches (15 cm) into the area of the
intake.
FOD related damage is not covered by the Lifetime Warranty .
CAUTION: Extreme Burn Hazard, always exercise caution around the hot parts of the turbine, to avoid
burns. The outer case at the turbine stage and nozzle reaches 400 - 500ºC (750 - 950 ºF), while the
exhaust gas may exceed 600º C (1290 ºF) at the tail cone exit point.
Always be aware of this danger!
NOTE: Fire extinguishers must be on hand at all times during turbine operation , especially during
the starting sequence, the recommend type is the CO
2
variety. To avoid hearing damage, always use
hearing protection when near a running turbine engine.
Make sure that the fuel is mixed with the correct amount of synthetic oil for the specific engine. Use only
100% synthetic 2 strokes or turbine oils. (See section 7 for details)
Use common sense when operating model turbine jet aircraft. Never operate in or around heavily
populated areas, and in or around areas experiencing drought or dryness where the fire risk is high.
Always check for fire risk warnings with local authorities in fire prone areas prior to operation.
