Instruction manual JetCat-PRO engines, 1.7 - V12.01V
WARNING!
The operation of a model jet engine can only be done under strict accordance of the model, remote
control, and engine operation manual. Before flying the model, all control functions, and surfaces
as well as the range of the remote-control system must be checked in the accordance of the
manufacture. The checking of these operations must be repeated with a running engine including
the remote-control system range.
WARNING!
In case of a mishap, fire extinguishers should always be on hand . JetCat recommends the CO/2
variety. Powdered extinguishers will corrode the precision components inside the engine and void
your warranty.
WARNING!
When the engine 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 engine.
Before operation, make sure there are no lose parts or debris near the engine. 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 engine in a closed room, or an area near any kind of flammable matter. Do not fly
engine-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 engine 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 engine, to avoid burns. The outer case at the
engine 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 engine oils
available at local airport fuel suppliers. Synthetic engine 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.
