❑
Lift the fuel tank lid and carefully fill the fuel tank until the fuel level is just below
the top of the fuel tank.
Warning
Use fuel that is appropriate for nitro car and buggy engines.
Do not
use gasoline/petrol or diesel fuel! for the break-in period you should use fuel
specifically designed for R/C car engines that contains no more than 20%
nitromethane.
❑
Using your glow plug wrench, verify that the glow plug is installed in the cylinder head and tight. If it's not already preinstalled,
install it, using one copper gasket.
❑
Prime the engine by first opening the throttle completely and covering the exhaust
opening in the tuned pipe with your finger, then pull the pull-starter cord several times until
you see fuel just start to enter the carburettor through the fuel line.

Do not pull the pull-starter cord all the way out or damage to the pull-starter
will occur. Use a couple of short pulls - about 7 or 8 inches (8~20cm) long.
❑
Remove your finger from the tuned pipe opening and close the throttle down to
the idle position (see page 2).

An XTM Racing # 4 Medium Heat-Range glow plug is included with your engine. We suggest having a couple of extra glow
plugs handy, because it can be expected that glow plugs will wear out quickly during the engine's break-in process. This glow
plug will suit most users during the break-in process. You may or may not need to change to a different type of glow plug after
break-in is complete.
There are a variety of different heat range glow plugs to suit your engine.
Typically, use a hotter glow plug if you're using 5% - 20% nitro fuel or
are running in cooler ambient temperatures. Hotter glow plugs typically
improve idle and transition, too. Use a cooler glow plug if you're running 25% - 30% nitro fuel or are running in higher ambient
temperatures.

❑
Connect a fully charged glow starter to the top of the glow plug, making sure that
the glow starter is locked firmly onto the top of the glow plug. You don't want it to fall off
while you're trying to start the engine.
When the engine is new, it can sometimes be difficult to turn over using the pull-starter.
You may find you need to pull the pull-starter harder than you expect. A trick to help this
is to loosen the glow plug slightly, start the engine, then remove the glow starter and
retighten the glow plug. This effectively lessens the engine's compression, making it
easier to turn over with the pull-starter.

We recommend that you place the chassis on a dedicated car stand
or similar so that all four wheels are suspended free from the ground. This ensures
that your car does not accidentally drive away at the point of starting if the idle
setting is too high.
❑
While holding the X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy firmly with one hand, carefully
pull on the pull-starter cord 3 times, using short, quick pulls.

If you can't turn the engine over using the pull-starter, don't force it. The
engine is probably flooded.
