Start-up the engine:

1. Close the choke and turn on the ignition. Advance the throttle to full position.
2. Briskly flip the prop through compression until the engine fires and then dies. It may take a few more flips if this is the first time starting the engine after being stored for a long period.
3. Open the choke and briskly flip the prop through compression. Advance the throttle to very slightly above the idle position. The engine should start in just a few flips.
4. For hot starts, open the choke, advance the throttle to very slightly above the idle position, and turn on the ignition. Briskly flip the prop through compression.

Note: Always stand clear of and behind the propeller when starting or running the engine. Anyone near the engine should wear protective eyewear. Do not wear loose clothing near the engine or propeller. It is also recommended to use Loctite 242 on all screws and nuts during installation to prevent them from coming loose.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. WARNING: This gasoline engine is not a toy. Serious injury or damage may result from improper use. We assume no responsibility for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from its use.
2. Before each use, carefully inspect the engine assembly, propeller, and airframe for loose screws and nuts. We highly recommend using Loctite 242 on all screws and nuts during installation to prevent them from coming loose.
3. CAUTION: If you plan to break in or test the engine on a test stand, it must have good shock-absorbing equipment, or some parts of the engine may be damaged due to excessive vibration. Mounting the engine on an airplane is the best way to break in the engine.
4. When running the engine, never allow anyone, including yourself, to stand in front of or to the sides of the propeller's rotating plane. Always stand clear of and behind the propeller. Anyone near the engine should wear protective eyewear. Do not wear loose clothing near the engine or propeller.
