WARNING! 
When the turbine is running, never place your hands closer than six inches into the area of the 
intake.  An extreme suction which can grasp a hand, fingers or other objects in an instant 
exists in this area.  Always be aware of this source of danger! 
Prevent foreign materials from entering the intake or exhaust when working with the turbine. 
Before operation, make sure there are no lose parts or debris near the turbine. Objects being 
sucked in can cause severe damage. If your installation allows, we highly recommend using a 
“Jet Net” to protect the intake. 

 

WARNING! 
Never run the turbine in a closed room, or an area near any kind of flammable matter.  Do not 
fly turbine-powered aircraft near flammable materials, nor in forested tracts or areas 
experiencing drought or dryness.  Obey all forest fire regulations and warnings by refraining 
from operating the JetCat turbine in restricted fire zones.

 

 

 
WARNING! 
The overflight of people, especially at low altitude, is strictly prohibited 
 
 

 

Attention! 
Always exercise caution around the hot parts of the turbine, to avoid burns.  The outer case at 
the turbine stage and nozzle reaches 450-600

 (Celsius), while the exhaust gas may exceed 

800 

C. 

 

WARNING! 
Assure that the fuel is mixed with approximately 5% synthetic oil.  Use only synthetic turbine 
oils available at local airport fuel suppliers. Synthetic turbine oils are dangerous and should 
only be handled as per the manufactures MDS sheets. JetCat has available a compatible oil 
that is less harmful that also contains an antistatic ingredient. Contact JetCat for more 
information. 

 

WARNING! 
To the avoid hearing damage, always use hearing protection when you are near a running 
turbine engine!
