Introduction

This manual is intended to aid the user in setup and running practices associated with the SWIWIN SW series micro
turbines. This manual is not intended to take the place of a primer on micro-turbines. It is assumed that the user has
working knowledge and experience with turbines and that each user is familiar with best practices before attempting
to run a turbine.

Non- Disclaimer

Turbines are inherently dangerous to run. Please read these instructions completely over and over then read them
over and over AGAIN. You must be entirely familiar with the operation of this turbine before attempting to run this
unit. It is strongly advised that if this is a first time turbine that the user engage the help of a seasoned pilot or turbine
mechanic in order to help to familiarize the user with the operation and to minimize potential risks involved. This
entails risk to the engine and risk to yourself and any bystanders.
SWIWIN USA will not take any responsibility for any damages or injury to the user or bystanders. Our responsibility is
explicitly limited to the motor and to the internal workings and ancillary supplies offered with the turbine.
SWIWIN USA advises ALL users (novice or pro) to test their motors in a test stand before mounting them in a plane.
The reason for this is to familiarize yourself with SWIWIN motor operation and to ensure reliable operation before
mounting the engine in the plane.
If you have any questions, do not run the turbine. If you are unsure about how to operate the unit, do not run the
turbine.

Risk of Burns

Risk of long range effect of inhalation of smoke from turbine oil additives

Risk of death or injury due to loss of control of a turbine or turbine propelled model

User accepts full responsibility for all risks including those to any bystanders. User accepts responsibility and bares all
risks associated with operation of SWIWIN turbine engines.
