Cleaning
Clean your
ECO2
with clean water and a mild soap. Dust and dirt can be brushed off, or removed with water
and mild soap. Grease and oil can be removed with a good water-based degreaser such as “Simple Green”.
Prop Care
Avoiding Prop Damage
It is very easy to damage the propeller by sucking up dirt or rocks when running the motor on the ground. To
avoid this, either place the unit on a nice clean area such as a nicely mowed yard.
Prop Balancing
Balancing of the propeller is very critical. The prop blades are subjected to accelerations as high as 2000 G’s!
Therefore, a weight difference of only 1 gram can cause forces as high as 2kg. This force will cause a
vibration at the speed of the propeller RPM, and can cause enough vibration to break welds or tubes of the
frame. Therefore, correct prop balance is of the utmost importance.
Keeping the Prop Clean
Wipe all dirt and oil from the prop when finished flying. Oil, if left on the prop for long periods of time, can
cause an imbalance.
Repairs
Minor repairs can be performed on the prop, cage, cage guard, and harness.
Major repairs should be performed by a trained service technician, or by FLY PRODUCTS.
Caution!
Repairs to the harness or any stress-carrying areas of the
ECO2
should only be performed by a
certified parachute rigger.
Long Term Storage
Long Term Storage is defined as anything longer than 3 months. The long-term storage procedure is as
follows:
●
Fuel tank drain completely.
●
Start and run engine at idle until it stops from fuel starvation.
This is to remove all fuel from the carburettor and lines.
●
Remove spark plug. Inject 4 teaspoons of 2-cycle oil into the spark plug hole.
Gently pull the starter rope a few times to distribute the oil, then reinstall the plug.
●
Clean the prop of any dirt and/or oil.
●
Clean the cage, harness, etc. so that it is free from dirt and/or oil.
●
Cover the machine with a sheet or light cloth.
●
Store in a clean, dry place
