User Manual

You are the proud owner of a AquaCraft engine – designed to provide easy starts and all the power you’ll need for thrilling R/C action. The following instructions contain information you’ll need to break-in, operate and maintain your new engine like a pro. Read and follow them carefully, and your engine will provide a long life of strong, dependable performance. • Model engine fuel is poisonous and must be kept in a clearly marked container, stored away from the reach of children. • Because model engine fuel is highly flammable, it should also be kept away from anything that might cause it to ignite (including open flames, excessive heat, or any objects and materials which could produce a spark). Smoking must not be permitted near the fuel. • R/C model engine exhaust, like that of automobile engines, contains deadly carbon monoxide. Do not run the engine in enclosed spaces - operate it only in open, well-ventilated areas.
• Your engine will become very hot as it runs. Touching any part – particularly the cylinder head or exhaust – could result in a serious burn. Avoid contact with the engine until it has cooled. • Protect onlookers – especially small children – by making sure that they remain at least 8 to 10 feet away while you start the engine. • This engine was designed only to power R/C model boats and should not be used for any other purpose. • To prevent damage to the pull starter, never pull the starter cord out more than 10 inches (25cm). Do not abruptly release the handle.
