Safety Notes
Please remember the turbine engine is not a toy and has the potential to
cause bodily harm to you and others if misused.
The following guidelines should be read carefully and adhered to.
1. Always keep a CO2 or similar fire extinguisher close when starting
and operating the engine
2. Always protect eyes and ears during the starting procedure.
3. Be aware of the extreme intake suction hazard, we advise the use
of a suitable commercial wire mesh Foreign Object Damage guard to
protect the engine intake. Ensure you have no loose items of clothing
(ties, etc.) or equipment which can readily be sucked into the engine
intake, even from adjacent to the engine.
4. Always operate your engine in open air away from confined spaces
as the engine exhaust contains gases which can cause asphyxiation
and nuisance smells.
5. Do not touch the engine whilst it is running. Turbines rotate at a very
high rpm and the engine casing and exhaust can reach very high
temperatures. Ensure anything affected by heat is kept well clear of
the engine and exhaust during operation.
6. Never use the engine near to sources of flammable gases, liquids or
materials.
7. Keep unauthorized persons, spectators, children and animals well
away from the starting area (at least 30ft or 10 metre away).
8. Always handle turbine fuel and oil with care as they are highly
flammable. Store them in appropriate label containers. Never dispose
inappropriately. We recommend the use of suitable disposable
protective gloves for the mixing of turbine oil/fuel.
