NOTES
This engine was designed for model aircraft. Do not attempt to use it for any other purpose.
Mount the engine in your model securely, following the manufacturers' recommendations, using appropriate
screws and locknuts.
Be sure to use the silencer (muffler) supplied with the engine. Frequent exposure to an open exhaust may
eventually impair your hearing.
Such noise is also likely to cause annoyance to others over a wide area.
Fit a top-quality propeller of the diameter and pitch specified for the engine and aircraft. Locate the propeller on the
shaft so that the curved face of the blades faces forward-i.e. in the direction of flight. Firmly tighten the propeller nut,
using the correct size wrench.
Always check the tightness of the propeller nut and retighten it, if necessary, before restarting the engine,
particularly in the case of four-stroke-cycle engines. A safety locknut assembly is provided. Always use it. This will
prevent the propeller from flying off in the event of a "backfire", even if it loosens.
If you install a spinner, make sure that it is a precision made product and that the slots for the propeller blades
do not cut into the blade roots and weaken them.
Discard any propeller which has become split, cracked, nicked or otherwise rendered unsafe. Never attempt to
repair such a propeller: destroy it. Do not modify a propeller in any way, unless you are highly experienced in tuning
propellers for specialized competition work such as pylon-racing.
Use an electric starter for this engine. The wearing of safety glasses is also strongly recommended.
