Field Equipment Required

The following are included in the Hangar 9® Start-
Up Field Accessory Pack (HANSTART)

• Sturdy cardboard construction tote box
• Manual fuel pump
• Hangar 9 glow plugs (2)
• 4-way wrench
• Rechargeable glow driver with charger
• Start stick
Other Items Required
(not included in Start-Up Field Accessory Pack)
• Fuel, 20% nitro content (Blue Thunder

recommended)

• Electric starter (optional)

1. Fill the fuel tank with the proper fuel. We

recommend 20% Blue Thunder fuel. Fill the
tank by connecting the fuel pump to the line
that has the fuel plug bolt installed in the end of
the tubing. Disconnect the fuel line attached to
the pressure fitting of the muffler; your tank is
full when fuel begins to run out of the pressure
line. Reconnect the fuel lines to the needle valve
assembly and muffler.

Note: It is very important to
reconnect the lines to the correct
place. If they are reconnected
incorrectly, the engine will not run
properly.

2. To prime your engine, first turn on your

transmitter and then your receiver. Move the
throttle to full open and place your finger over
the carburetor opening. Turn the propeller over
by hand until you can see fuel entering the fuel
line. Move the throttle stick full down to idle.

Caution: Always have a helper hold
your boat when starting the engine.

3. Move the throttle to the low position and the

throttle trim lever to the middle position. Place
the glow driver on the glow plug and, using a
start stick, turn the propeller counter clockwise
through the compression stroke. You should feel
a “bump” against the start stick. When you feel
the “bump”, flip the propeller counter clockwise
to start the engine. Repeat the process if the
engine does not start.
