WARNINGS

Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not
allow it to come into contact with the eyes
or mouth. Always store it in a
clearly marked container and
out of the reach of children.

Never operate your engine in an en-
closed space. Model engines, like auto-
mobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon-
monoxide. Run your engine only in an
open area.

Model engines generate considerable
heat. Do not touch any part of your
engine until it has cooled. Contact with
the muffler (silencer),
cylinder head or exhaust
header pipe, in particular,
may result in a serious burn.

Never touch, or allow any object to come
into contact with, the rotating
propeller and do not crouch
over the engine when it is
running.

A weakened or loose propeller may
disintegrate or be thrown off and, since
propeller tip speeds with powerful
engines may exceed 600 feet(180 metres)
per second, it will be understood that
such a failure could result in serious
injury, (see 'NOTES' section relating to
propeller safety).

Model engine fuel is also highly
flammable. Keep it away from open flame,
excessive heat, sources of sparks, or
anything else which might ignite
it. Do not smoke or allow anyone
else to smoke, near to it.
