1.
Use the supplied template (on the back cover of this manual) to drill the engine
mounting bolt holes and the necessary clearance hole on the firewall.
2.
Install the engine on the firewall using four 5 x 20mm socket head cap screws,
four 5mm flat and four 5mm lock washers. Use some threadlocking compound,
such as Great Planes
®
Pro
™
Threadlocker (GPMR6060), on the screws.
3.
Install the fuel tank in the airframe. Use only gasoline-safe fuel lines. One line
should go to the carburetor and the other is to be used as a vent. You can fill
the tank by using the carburetor line as fill line if you have access to it or install
a third line to be used as fill line.
4.
Install a manual kill switch and a radio-operated kill switch. Install the kill
switch servo at least 305mm [12"] away from the engine.
5.
Install the throttle servo at least 305mm [12"] away from the engine. Make
sure that you get the carburetor’s full range of rotation with your servo travel.
6.
Install the ignition module securely in the airplane forward area. It is
recommended that a thin piece of foam rubber is placed between the module
and the mounting surface and that rubber bands are used to hold the module
in place. 4mm screws and washers can also be used to secure it in place, but
soft mounting the module is always the best choice.
7.
Secure all connections with shrink tubing.
8.
Cut all necessary clearance and cooling holes in the cowl.
9.
Make sure the cowl is secured to the airplane and that the spinner to cowl
clearance is at least 3.2mm [1/8"].
BREAK IN THE ENGINE
·
The break-in procedures for your engine will vary depending on the type of
engine oil you will use. Please refer to the “Oil” section for fuel/oil mixture ratios
and break-in times.
·
Do not adjust the high-speed needle on the carburetor to break in the engine. If you
do so, carbon will accumulate in the spark plug and that will make ignition difficult.
·
Do not run at full power for extended periods of time while breaking in your engine.
·
Make sure that the engine has adequate cooling. While breaking in, the engine
may run at slightly higher temperatures.
·
If you wish to do so, you can break in your Fuji-Imvac BT-86EI while flying your
airplane. Just make sure you observe all recommendations above.
STARTING PROCEDURES
There are four recommended ways to start the Fuji-Imvac BT-86EI:
A. Manual Starting:
Note:
Use a thick glove to protect your hand while hand starting the Fuji-Imvac BT-86EI.
1.
The propeller should be installed on the prop spacer so that it is comfortable for
you to flip it through compression. You also need to position it in a way that when
you flip the propeller, the magnets are 20° clockwise from the magnet pick up.
2.
Have someone help you hold the airplane while you start the engine.
3.
Make sure the ignition is OFF, close the choke on the carburetor and open the
throttle slightly from the idle position.
