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.
