back to the engine and serious damages may occur during the
break-in period. Break-in should be considered about the fi rst
3-5 gallons you run in the engine.
●
For your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand
in front of the propeller or inline with the propeller when the
engine is running. Keep onlookers away from the running engine,
especially small children.
●
Always use a balanced spinner and a balanced propeller. An
unbalanced spinner or propeller combination will cause high
levels of vibration and may cause the propeller shaft to break.
Always use a lightweight, high quality spinner on your engine.
Heavy spinners could cause the propeller shaft to break. Evenly
and securely tighten the spinner and propeller to the engine to
prevent them from being thrown off the engine while running.
●
Never use a propeller that has hit the ground. Even though it
may look good from the outside, it may be cracked on the inside
which may cause it to disintegrate while in use. Do not use a
nicked, cracked or split propeller.
●
Keep foreign objects away from the propeller. Make sure that
nothing can be “sucked in” by the propeller.
●
Never start the engine on loose gravel or sand.
●
Do not attempt to stop the engine by throwing anything into the
path of the propeller.
●
Do not use silicone fuel line because it will be dissolved by the
fuel. Use gasoline approved rubber fuel line. Always secure the
fuel line away from the cylinder head. The engine’s heat can
damage the fuel line.
●
Never touch the engine immediately after a run. The engine will
be hot.
●
Before transporting your model, remove all the fuel from the
fuel tank and fuel lines.
●
Always use high-quality oil intended for 2-stroke (2-cycle) engines.
It's a good idea to use a petroleum-based 2-cycle motor oil like
Lawn Boy All Season - Ashless oil for the break-in period.
●
Do not install your throttle servo inside the engine compartment.
Doing so could cause radio interference. When practical, install all
electronic radio devices at least 12" [305mm] away from the engine.
●
The throttle and choke pushrods should be non-metallic.
●
If the engine is not to be used for more than a month, drain the
fuel tank and remove any fuel from inside the carburetor. Do this
by running the engine at idle until it quits by running out of fuel.
