REMINDER!

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.

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.

FUEL

Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel
that is commercially available for model two-stroke
engines and contains 10-30% nitromethane. As a
starting point, we recommend a fuel containing 20%
nitromethane, changing to a fuel containing more
nitro if necessary. When the brand of fuel is
changed, or the nitro content increased, it is
advisable to repeat the running-in procedure
referred to in the RUNNING-IN paragraphs. Please
note that with high-nitro fuels,
although power may be increased
for competition purposes, glowplug
elements do not last as long and
engine life will be shortened.

Tools, accessories, etc.The following items are
necessary for operating the engine.
