Pro75® Instructions, July 2015 revision
4.
Preflight Preparation.
4.1.
Prepare the rocket’s recovery system, before motor installation if possible.
4.2.
Install the motor in your rocket, ensuring that it is securely mounted with a positive means of retention to prevent it from being ejected
during any phase of the rocket’s flight.
4.3.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT INSTALL THE IGNITER IN THE MOTOR UNTIL YOU HAVE THE ROCKET ON THE LAUNCH PAD, OR IN A SAFE AREA
DESIGNATED BY THE RANGE SAFETY OFFICER
. Follow all rules and regulations of your rocketry association, and/or the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Code 1127 where applicable.
4.4.
Install the supplied igniter, ensuring that it travels forward until it is in contact with the forward closure. Securely retain the igniter to the
motor nozzle with tape, or (if supplied) the plastic cap, routing the wires through one of the vent holes. Ensure that whatever means you
use provides a vent for igniter gases to prevent premature igniter ejection.
4.5.
Launch the rocket in accordance with all Federal, State/Provincial, and municipal laws as well as the Safety Code of your rocketry
association, as well as NFPA Code 1127 where applicable.
5.
Post Flight Cleanup.
Do not try to dismount or disassemble your motor until it has thoroughly cooled down after firing. Some components such as the nozzle may
be extremely hot for some time after firing.
Perform motor cleanup as soon as possible after firing, however, as combustion residues are corrosive to motor components, and become
very difficult to remove after several hours.
5.1.
Unthread and remove the forward and rear closures. Remove the nozzle holder from the nozzle.
5.2.
Remove the phenolic tracking smoke charge insulator from the forward closure.
5.3.
Remove all o-rings.
5.4.
Discard all reload kit components with regular household waste, after they have completely cooled down.
5.5.
Use wet wipes, or paper towels or rags dampened with water or vinegar to thoroughly clean all residue, grease etc. off all hardware
components. Pay close attention to internal and external o-ring grooves. A cotton swab or small stick of balsa is an excellent tool for
cleaning these grooves.
5.6.
Apply a light coat of grease or o-ring lubricant to all threaded sections and reassemble threaded components for storage.
MEANS OF DISPOSAL:
The propellant grains, smoke tracking charge, and the igniter are extremely flammable and burn with an intense, hot flame.
The remainder of the components are inert and may be disposed of with household trash. To destroy the flammable components, dig a shallow
hole in the ground in a remote area, away from any buildings, trees, people, or any other combustibles. Place the propellant grains and smoke
tracking module in the hole. Install the igniter into the core of one of the propellant grains and secure with tape. Ignite electrically from a minimum
distance of 15 meters. Douse any smoldering paper residue and discard. Ensure that you are not in violation of any local or state regulations for this
procedure. If in doubt, contact your local fire department. Please direct any questions regarding safe disposal to our technical support number on
page one of this document.
First Aid:
If ingested, induce vomiting. Burns from flames are to be treated as regular burns with normal first aid procedures. In either case,
seek medical attention
