•  Never return unused fuel from the fuel tank back into 

the fuel container.

•  Never attempt to repair or modify a propeller beyond 

its intended use.

•  Never handle model engines, mufflers and/or tuned 

pipes until they have had time to cool. They become 

extremely hot when in use.

•  Never use hands, fingers, or any other body part to 

stop the propeller.

•  Never throw any object into a propeller to stop it. 

•  Never run the engine in the vicinity of loose small 

objects, such as gravel or sand, to avoid the propeller 

uncontrollably throwing such materials.  

•  Never wear loose clothing or a loose neckstrap when 

operating your model engine as these items could 

become entangled in the propeller.

•  Never have loose objects such as screwdrivers, 

pencils etc. in your pockets when operating your 

model engine. These could fall into the propeller.

•  Never allow fuel to come into contact with eyes 

or mouth. Gasoline and other fuels used in model 

engines are poisonous.

•  Always ensure spectators, especially children, are at 

least 30 feet away when running the engine.

•  Always ensure that the propeller is securely attached 

to the engine shaft and all retaining fasteners are 

tightened properly before EACH flight. Use of blue 

threadlock to tighten nuts is advisable.

•  Always keep small parts out of the reach of children 

as they can be choking hazards.

•  Always secure the airplane before powering the 

engine.

•  Always keep your face and body away from the path 

of the propeller blades when starting or running your 

engine.

•  Always stand behind the propeller when making 

carburetor adjustments.

•  Always wear safety glasses or goggles when starting 

and running your engine.

•  Always keep your fuel in a safe place well away from 

sparks, heat or anything that can ignite.

•  Always ensure the aircraft is secure and will not 

move once the engine is started.

•  Always rebind your transmitter to your receiver(s) 

after setup and before first flight.

•  Always ensure the throttle failsafe is set to low 

throttle in your transmitter.

•  Always perform a range check prior to flight. 

•  Always cut off the fuel supply (pinch or disconnect 

the fuel line to the carburetor) or use the throttle 

linkage to shut off the air in order to stop the engine.

•  Always ensure gasoline and fuel is stored in a 

clearly marked container well away from the reach 

of children.

•  Always mount the engine securely on a bench mount 

or high-quality engine mount.

•  Always use the correct size and pitch of propeller for 

your engine. Refer to Propeller Chart in this manual.

•  Always confirm proper balance of your propeller prior 

to installation of the engine. Failure to do so could 

cause damage to the engine and/or the airframe.

•  Always utilize an electric starter to start your engine.

•  Always discard any propeller that is nicked, 

scratched, cracked or damaged in any way.

•  Always run your model engine in a well-ventilated 

area. Model engines produce possibly harmful 

carbon monoxide fumes.

•  Always store your fuel safely in a sealed, water-

resistant container. 

•  Always store fuel in a cool, dry location. Do not 

allow fuel containers to come in direct contact with 

concrete, as the fuel may absorb moisture.

•  Always responsibly discard fuel if there is 

condensation and/or water inside the fuel container.

Model engines produce a substantial amount of power and can create unsafe situations if not used correctly. 

Always use common sense and observe all safety precautions when operating, handling or performing any 

procedure involving your engine. Failure to follow safety precautions could result in serious injury and property 

damage.
