idle adjuster screw and low jet adjuster screw. When engine is getting more and more
used, the settings change and re-adjustment becomes necessary.
Please note! - depending on weather, air pressure, temperature, humidity and altitude
engine may run different or not run properly at idle and/or at low RPM operations and
small re-adjustment on the carburetor is necessary.
Clutch and Propeller
Even if the idle is set correct and RPM is low (under 2.500 RPM, or even under 2.000) and
clutch is not engaged the propeller still may turn slowly. Particularly this happens when;
engine is very new
propeller is especially light weight
The reason is the friction of the bearings from the clutch bell, sitting on the turning crank
shaft. The more the bearings get used and loosing friction, the lesser the propeller will turn
at idle.
Break-in Procedure on a new engine
Every engine has undergone a run in procedure at the factory prior delivery. But operate
the engine with care for the first 3 hours and do not operate it longer than half a minute at
full throttle. Make the first flights by changing RPM runs frequently, never running the
engine at the same RPM for a longer period of time.
Engine operation
Whenever you begin to operate the engine at a new time, well take care of;
pre-flight check (according to the Paramotor unit or other aircraft manufacturer's
advice)
check for proper fuel quality and fuel mix
never run the engine without propeller
well warm up the engine before flight – respect the propeller!
check before flight if warm engine running well in all RPM's – respect the
propeller!
check before flight if engine well running at idle with proper low RPM
listen to any possible strange noise what may predict a fault whatsoever
never run the engine under full power excessively
Have pleasant flights with your new EOS engine! - Fly safe and respect the propeller!
