Proper care and simple maintenance should keep your AfterBurner

running well for a long time.

Make sure you thoroughly check your vehicle after each run to

make sure no parts were bent or broken. Also check to make sure

the screws, fasteners, bolts and hardware are secure and tight after

each run. Should you fi nd that any parts are bent, broken or show

excessive wear, you must repair or replace them immediately before

attempting to operate your AfterBurner again. See your local hobby

dealer fi rst for replacement parts. The list on page 3 provides a handy

guide.

Thoroughly clean your AfterBurner after each run to remove oil, fuel

and dirt. We recommend Megatech’s MegaWash, a safe and effective

spray cleaner.

Important: Never leave any fuel in the vehicle’s fuel tank or engine.

The Nitro fuels used in these high-performance vehicles may cause

corrosion and damage your engine. Whenever possible, use up the

fuel in the engine by running the vehicle until it quits, leaving no

fuel in the tank, fuel tube or engine.

Always remove the used batteries from the transmitter and the receiver

box if the vehicle is going to be stored for more than a few days. Also

place two drops of Mega Metal-Guard (after-run oil) down the carburetor

and two drops down the glow plug hole and turn the engine over by pull-

ing on the pull-starter a few times.
