ENGINE RUNNING IN PROCEDURE
The Volution engine undergoes a thorough inspection before shipment during which
each engine is run for 1 hour as a preliminary running-in process. For the best engine
performance it is necessary to follow our running in procedure during your first 10 hours
of flying. This is a simple process and most importantly it means that you can fly your
Volution right away with no lengthy ground running process.
For the best results it requires that you never remain on full power for more than 30
seconds at a time during flight.
Directions:
After take-off you may remain on full power during climb out for up to 1 minute (max)
It is then important to back-off the power and sit at cruise rpm and fly level for 1 – 2
minutes approx before using full power again.
If you wish to climb high do so in stages climbing on full power for 30 second intervals
then allowing the engine to settle at cruising flight rpm or slow climb for a minute or so.
After the first 10 hours of flying you are free to climb using the throttle for longer
periods….
However….
The key to a long lasting, high performance engine is to treat it with some respect. Do
not dwell on full throttle for long periods as the engine becomes hot and this reduces
the life span of the bearings and mechanical components. As with any engine, using it
well within its designed limits ensures that you will receive the longest life from it.
Resulting in less maintenance costs and servicing time.
