Glow plugs wear, especially during the running-in stage. Thus, we recommend that you always keep in store some glow plugs for replacement. There are glow

plugs with different thermal values; proper selection of the glow plug has a great influence on the driving performance. In the run-in stage, you should use a "cold"

glow plug for high-performance engines. After the run-in stage, you can change to a glow plug with medium thermal value.

Use glow plugs for RC cars only! A wrong glow plug, e.g. for 4-stroke model plane engines lets the motor run improperly and makes tuning more

difficult.

Our advice: Degrees of heat of glow plugs

• Standard glow plugs for fuels with nitro methane additive (approx. 5 %)

• Cold glow plugs for fuels with nitro methane additive (approx. 10 %)

• Super cold glow plugs for fuels with nitro methane additive (more than 10 %)

Installation/exchange of glow plugs

Requires a glow plug wrench (lug wrench SW 8, 9, 10 and 12).

Preheating the glow plug

A glow plug starter with rechargeable battery is placed on the glow plug and heats this so that the air-fuel mixture ignites and the engine starts. Once the engine

runs properly, the glow plug starter can be removed.

If the correct heat rating of the glow plug (also: heater plug) has been selected and the plug is not damaged, the glow plug will continue to glow and the engine

will keep running smoothly.

e) Tools and Aids

Prior to the start, you have to make and check a few basic settings as well as provide the necessary accessories and operating materials.

Tools:

• Socket wrench for the wheel nuts 7mm

• 5 mm and 5.5 mm flat spanners to set alignment and inclination

• 1.5 mm Allen key for the grub screws on the adjusting rings of the throttle/brake and steering linkages

• Phillips screwdriver

• Normal screwdriver for the throttle stop screw and the main nozzle needle

Auxiliary materials:

• Cable clips

• Air filter oil
