Keeping gasoline inside the carburetor over an extended period of time will damage the diaphragm valve and clog passages inside the carburetor. Do thisīy running the engine at idle until it quits by running out of fuel.
If the engine is not to be used for more than a month, drain the fuel tank and remove any fuel from inside the carburetor. The throttle and choke pushrods should be non-metallic. #DLE 120 TURNING INSTALL#
When practical, install all electronic radio devices at least 12" away from the engine.
Do not install your throttle servo inside the engine compartment. It's a good idea to use a petroleum-based 2-cycle motor oil like Lawn Boy All Season - Ashless oil for the break-in period. Always use high-quality oil intended for 2-stroke (2-cycle) engines. Before transporting your model, remove all the fuel from the fuel tank and fuel lines. Never touch the engine immediately after a run.The engine will be hot. The engine’s heat can damage the fuel line. Always secure the fuel line away from the cylinder head. Do not use silicone fuel line because it will be dissolved by the fuel. Do not attempt to stop the engine by throwing anything into the path of the propeller.
Never start the engine on loose gravel or sand. Make sure that nothing can be “sucked in” by the propeller.
Keep foreign objects away from the propeller.
#DLE 120 TURNING CRACKED#
Do not use a nicked, cracked or split propeller. Even though it may look good from the outside, it may be cracked on the inside which may cause it to disintegrate while in use.
Never use a propeller that has hit the ground. Evenly and securely tighten the spinner and propeller to the engine to prevent them from being thrown off the engine while running. Heavy spinners could cause the propeller shaft to break. Always use a lightweight, high quality spinner on your engine. An unbalanced spinner or propeller combination will cause high levels of vibration and may cause the propeller shaft to break. Always use a balanced spinner and a balanced propeller. Keep onlookers away from the running engine, especially small children. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand in front of the propeller or inline with the propeller when the engine is running. Break-in should be considered about the first 3-5 gallons you run in the engine. Otherwise it is probable that vibration could reboundīack to the engine and serious damages may occur during the break-in period. During the break-in period, it is recommended that the engine be installed on the aircraft or a test stand with an appropriate shock absorber.
It is strongly recommended that a screw sealant is used (Great PlanesThreadlocker GPMR6060) during engine installation. Before starting the engine, please make sure all components including the propeller and the engine mount are secure and tight.Operate the engine in a properly ventilated area.DLE will not be held responsible for any safety issues or accidents involving this engine. Please place your safety and the safety of others paramount while operating. (1) Red Three Pin Connector Lead w/ Pig Tail (for ignition switch)
