Before connecting the throttle linkage, make sure that the 
throttle valve lever does not interfere with the bulkhead or 
mount of the model when it is fully closed and opened.

Connect the throttle linkage so that clearance gap between 
the  idle  stop  and  idle  speed  stop  lever  distance  is 
1~1.5mm  (refer  to  the  sketch  shown  below)  when  the 
throttle stick on the transmitter is fully pulled down and the 
throttle valve is fully closed as well as the trim lever on the 
transmitter.

Connect linkage so that this
gap distance is 1~1.5mm.
(This is the idling position.)

Idle Stop Lever

Connect  the  linkage  so  that  the  throttle  valve  is  fully 
opened  when  the  throttle  stick  on  the  transmitter  is  fully 
advanced. (Adjust the movement so that the pushrod does 
not  bind  when  the  throttle  valve  is  fully  closed  and  fully 
opened.)

Connect  the  linkage  so  that  the  servo  arm  and  pushrod, 
and  throttle  valve  lever  make  a  right  angle  when  the 
throttle stick on the transmitter is placed at mid position to 
avoid differential action.

When  changing  the  throttle  valve  lever  and  choke  valve 
lever  direction,  loosen  and  tighten  each  retaining  screw 
placing  each  lever  at  mid  position.    (If  the  throttle  valve 
lever  retaining  screw  is  loosened  or  tightened  with  the 
throttle  valve  fully  opened  or  closed,  excessive  force  will 
be applied, which will results in breaking the lever.)

There is no need to connect to the air vent fitting in normal 
use.  However, if the engine does not run steadily due to 
pressure  change  caused  by  airflow  in  the  cowl,  connect 
tubing to the inside of the fuselage.

Consumption current is 600mA/6,000rpm. 
User a power source of more than 1000mA/h capacity.

For  safety,  with  this  ignition  module  the  engine  runs 
intermittently  over  5,000rpm  when  the  power  source 
voltage drops below 3.8V. 
With this intermittent running rpm do not increase the rpm 
above mid speed, and land the model immediately.

The ignition module is set not to operate below 100rpm for 
safety.

The voltage of power source is 4.8~7.4V (rated). 
(Ni-Cd, Ni-H 4~6 cells, Li-Po, Li-Fe 2 cells)

When  checking  the  spark  plug  with  the  power 
source  on,  do  not  hold  the  plug,  plug  cap,  high 
tension cord nor grounding wire, or you will get a 
shock.

Be sure to equip an externally-operable switch for 
the  ignition  system  battery  to  stop  the  engine  if 
started  unexpectedly  without  switching  on  the 
radio system, or there is a possibility of injury.

IGNITION MODULE

Major specifications

Installation

Install  the  ignition  module  taking  sufficient  anti-vibration 
measures.

Install  the  ignition  module  at  least  100mm  away  from  the 
engine and in a place where there is airflow so that engine 
exhaust heat and radiation heat do not affect it's operation.

Do  not  share  the  power  source  with  receiver  and  use  a 
separate power source.

Equip an ON/OFF switch between the ignition module and 
its  power  source  and  install  it  in  a  place  where  can  be 
operated from outside the model.  

Install  the  ignition  module  and  its  power  source  as  far  as 
possible away from the servos and receiver power source.

Connect the ignition module grounding wire to the engine.

Make sure the jackets of high tension cord and grounding 
wire do not touch the engine and cowl to avoid accidental 
short circuit.

Install he plug cap on the plug securely.
