Safety Notes
Please remember that though this engine is small it is most definitely NOT a toy and has the po-
tential to hurt you or others around you if misused. The engine is a very high performance ma-
chine in miniature and must always be treated with a high level of care and safety when in your
operation. It is your responsibility as owner, to ensure safe and considerate operation at all times
and conforming to the word and sprit of this User Manual. By running this engine you agree to
assume full responsibility for its safe operation.
The following guidelines should be read carefully and followed:
Always keep a C02 or similar gaseous fire extinguisher of at least 2kg contents close to
hand when starting and operating the engine. Do not use a powder extinguisher unless of last
resort as the powder will ruin the engine if it used.
Protect eyes and ears during the starting procedure.
Be especially aware this engine is very fast to start, initiate only when ready.
Please note this engine is extremely fast to spool to maximum thrust, use the throttle con-
trol carefully, especially with very small models.
Be aware of the extreme intake suction, use the available and supplied fod filter screen
always.
Always run the engine in open air as engine exhaust contains gases which can cause as-
phyxiation and nuisance smells.
The engine WILL be very hot while running, so please don´t touch it.
Keep clear anything affected by heat away from the engine, especially the exhaust area.
Don´t run the engine anywhere near a source of flammable gases, liquids or materials.
Don´t run the engine or fly the plane in wooded or crop or other high fire risk areas.
Keep spectators, children and animals clear of starting area (10mtrs (30ft) radius away).
Always handle turbine fuel and oil with care as they are flammable and can cause a reac-
tion with sensitive skin. Store them in clearly marked containers and always dispose appropriately.
Use protective gloves when mixing and decanting fuel and oils. Avoid all skin, eye, mouth or inges-
tion contact with the liquids and ensure any spillage is wiped up immediately. Clean any affected
area with warm soapy water. Wash hands and any effected part immediately after any contact.
Continued excess priming or failing of the starter burner can result in pooling of fuel inside
the engine which could cause excess flaming in event of subsequent ignition. The only method to
clear the engine is to tip it forward and allow excess to escape through the front of the engine.
Mop up with a rag. Tipping it backwards will not work as the internal construction of the engine
prevents any liquid draining out to the rear.
