Model engines produce a substantial amount of
power, which can create unsafe situations if not
used correctly. Always use common sense and
observe all safety precautions when operating,
handling or performing any procedure involving your
engine. Failure to follow safety precautions could
result in serious injury and property damage.
• Always ensure spectators, especially children,
are at least 30 feet away when running the
engine.
• Always ensure that the propeller is securely
attached to the engine shaft and all retaining
fasteners are tightened properly before EACH
flight. Use of blue threadlock to tighten nuts is
advisable.
• Always keep small parts out of the reach of
children as they can be choking hazards.
• Always secure the airplane before powering the
engine.
• Always keep your face and body away from the
path of the propeller blades when starting
or running your engine.

carburetor adjustments.
