CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Please pay attention to the matters
described below to ensure that your engine
serves you well in regard to performance,
reliability and long life.
•As previously mentioned, it is vitally important
to avoid operating the engine in conditions
where dust, disturbed by the propeller, may
be deposited on the engine and enter its
working parts.
• Remember to keep your fuel container
closed to prevent foreign matter from
contaminating the fuel.
• Fit a fuel can filter to prevent dirt and dust in
the fuel container entering the fuel tank.
O.S. Super Filters (L) and (S) are available
as optional extra.
• Fit an in-line fuel filter between the tank and
carburetor to prevent dist and dust in the
tank entering the carburetor.
• Clean these filters periodically.
• If these precautions are neglected, restriction
of fuel flow may cause the engine to cut out,
or the fuel/air mixture to become too lean
causing the engine to overheat.
• The use of modern high-performance alcohol
based model engine fuels, while promoting
cooler running, improved anti-detonation
combustion and increased power, has the
disadvantage of causing bottom end
corrosion in a four-stroke engine. This is due
to the acidic by products of combustion that
accumulates in the engine's crankcase and
are not flushed out by fresh air/fuel mixture
as in the case of a two-stroke engine.
