Do
not attempt to fly your model before completely checking out
your installation.
We stress
the use of a chicken stick or electric starter to prevent
injury when starting your engine. Do not use your fingers.
Keep
your hands a safe distance from the propeller when making
adjustments to the carburetor and when disconnecting the glow
plug wire.
In case
of difficulty, the safest and easiest way to stop the engine
is to pinch off the fuel line or remove it from the carburetor.
Never throw anything into the propeller (rags, etc.) to stop
the engine.
Extreme
care must be taken to protect your face, hands and body from
the plane of the propeller. Don't start your engine on loose
dirt, sand or gravel. A thrown blade or foreign objects drawn
into the propeller could cause serious injury.
Never
lean over the propeller and wear eye protection when starting
and running your engine. Keep all loose articles (pencils,
eyeglasses, etc.) out of shirt pockets, as they may fall out
while adjusting your engine. Long hair, neck ties, loose shirt
sleeves etc. must be kept away from the prop.
Never
clamp your engine in a vice to test run. Mount your engine
securely in your airplane or a commercial test stand. Never
use wood screws to mount your engine. Use good quality machine
screws and nuts.
Never
run your engine in an enclosed area. Engines produce dangerous
exhaust gases and must be run outdoors only.
Never
use propellers with nicks, scratches or cracks. Always use
the correct size propeller for your engine. Be sure prop nut
is tight and recheck it after each flight. Nylon props can
be extremely dangerous if improperly used. Read prop manufacturers
directions carefully.
Never
operate any model aircraft near overhead electric or telephone
lines. If your plane should get away from you and become caught
in overhead lines, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE IT! Call the
telephone or electric company and they will be happy to retrieve
it for you.
Store
your fuel in a tightly sealed container (metal or suitable
plastic, NOT GLASS). Model fuel is poisonous and flammable.
Keep it away from heat, flames, and the reach of children.
Use a
muffler and fly in designated areas. Be considerate to others.
YOUR
ENGINE IS NOT A TOY! It is a precision piece of machinery
and should be treated as such.
If you
are in doubt about anything, it is best to call our factory.
Asking your hobby dealer or an experienced modeler for assistance
may be helpful, but may not provide you with correct information.
Remember:
