1 Safety Information
The
JET CENTRAL TURBINE ENGINES
are in its 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
is a state of the art gas turbine engine and all components are manufactured
within the highest standards. If operated correctly it will provide years of reliable, trouble-free
service, with low maintenance.
It cannot however, be stressed highly enough, that the operating instructions 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.
The
JET CENTRAL
gas turbines are high performance
TURBOJET ENGINES
that need
discipline, commitment to correct and safe operation. With other persons present while
operation, the
TURBOJET ENGINE ALWAYS ENFORCE THE PROPER SAFE DISTANCES
FROM THE TURBINE!
The recommended minimum safe distances are:
In front of the turbine:
15 feet
Beside of the turbine:
25 feet
Behind the turbine:
25 feet
Fire extinguishers should be on hand at all times during operation, especially during the
starting sequence, the recommend type is the CO2 variety. To avoid hearing damage, always
use hearing protection when near a running turbine engine. When the turbine is running
never place your hands closer than 6 inches into the area of the intake.
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!
Prevent foreign materials from entering the intake when working the turbine. Before
operation, make sure there are no lose parts or debris near the turbine.
