Instructions Titan ZG 45PCI-HV

Congratulations on your purchase of a Titan ZG 45PCI-HV
About the biggest problem facing man is that he does not know what he does not
know. To resolve this problem requires enormous efforts, however try to avoid so much
as possible unnecessary mistakes and please read the following pages carefully. Do
not take fright at the amount written here, it is really a list of mistakes many modellers
have made and you should at all costs avoid. A reliable running engine stands or falls
with the way you instal the engine in your model, and how you handle your engine.
It is up to you, to read and carry out these instructions, to have success and be able to
get real fun out of the hobby of flying model planes.
The Titan ZG 45PCI-HV, fitted with the Microprocessor Ignition, will start just as easily
as with the Easy Start System. Although the starting technique is totally different to
the ZG 45SL with the standard magneto ignition and requires a fully new approach.
In other words, please forget all you have learnt with starting the magneto ignition
engine and follow the starting instructions for the Microprocessor Ignition, given
towards the end of this manual!
The Titan ZG 45PCI-HV is not a complicated engine, it is a well proven industrial two
stroke engine. To ensure your engine reaches you in perfect condition, we have specially
trained people to completely strip each engine down and thoroughly check it. This
stripping and reassembling takes between 25 and 30 minutes per engine and ensures
that you receive an engine that is mechanically sound as can be.
The Titan ZG 45PCI-HV is a very powerful engine, the thrust from the propeller is such
that you simply cannot afford to take any chances. You take a chance and you run the
risk of not only endangering yourself, but other people as well. Take care before each
start, double check to see the throttle is not on full power. If you do not have anyone
to help, you must anchor your model securely or flick the propeller over from behind
the engine, using the other hand to hold the model, this way you are in no danger
from the prop. A screwdriver stuck in the ground in front of each wheel is not only
useless, it is dangerous!
Do not taxi your model right back to the starting place on your flying field, instead cut
the engine and push the model back! Pushing your model back, you may think seems
unprofessional. Forget such ideas! You never know, something might go wrong and
your model suddenly has full throttle! Should the result be that you have reduced your
club chairman’s model to its component parts, you can count yourself lucky if it’s not
the chairman himself, or his dog.
