1.Fuel
●Thefuelisamixtureofregulargasolineorhigh-octanegasolineandhigh-quality2-strokeengineoil.
●[Exampleofoilrecommendation]
 ・KlotzKL-200OriginalTechniplate・DeluxeMaterialsPowerModel2T-S・ENEOSRACINGSPECPRO-2T(SAITOSTANDARD)etc.
Ifsuchoilsarenotavailableinyourcountry,thenpleaseasktheofficialSAITOdistributorinyourcountryforanalternative.
NEVERuse“cheapoil”designedforutilityenginesforbrushcutter,lawnmower,orchainsawetc.
●Besuretousethemixture“gasoline:oil=15~20:1”byvolumeratio.(Ex.1000mlofgasolineshouldbemixedwithmorethan50mlofoil).
●Duringthebreak-inprocess,use15:1mixedfueltoensurethebestlubricationforinitialrunning.
●Anydamagecausedbythefuelused,inwhichtheoilratioislowerthan20:1willnotbecoveredbywarranty.
●Donotusegasolinecontainingethanol.Itmaycausenotonlypowerlossbutalsocorrosioninsidetheengine.
2.Ignition
●Placethemainunitasfarfromotherelectricaldevicesaspossible.
●PlacethetwoswitchesoftheignitionandtheRCreceiverasfarfrom
eachotheraspossible.
(1)Plugcord(meshedhightensioncord)
Inserttheplugcapof(1)Plugcorddeeplyontotheplugof#1cylinder
tomakesureitwillnotcomeoff.Theothercapsandplugsshouldbe
installedbythesameway.(Refertocylinder#onthereverseside)
(2)Sensorcord
Connectwiththecordfromthesensorattachedtotheengine.
(3)Batterycord(black/redcord)
Useafullychargedbatterythathasadequatespec.(6-8.4V,morethan
1500mAisrecommended.).Betweenthebatteryandmainunit,make
suretoinstallaheavydutyswitchwhosecapacityishigherthan3A.
(4)Tachometercord(optional)
Connectthedigitaltachometer(Option).Otherwisetheconnectorisnormallyvacant.
3.Propeller
●TheStandardpropisMejzlikD22”xP10”whichbringsapprox.6,500rpm(orFalconD22”xP10”bringsapprox.6,000rpm).
Largersizeorgreaterpitchcancauseenginebrokenduetooverload.
●Useawell-balancedone.Neverusethepropellerthathasbeenscratchedordamagedevenifslightly.
●Asthepropelleriscompressedslightly,tightenthepropellernuteveryhourofoperation.
4.Break-inMOSTIMPORTANT!!
●Beforestartingtheengine,injectasuitableamount(approx.20〜30cc)ofengineoilintothe
lubricationnippleonthecrankcaseusingasyringeorpumpwhileturningthepropellerbyhand.
Afterthat,plugthisnipple.Asexcessisdischargedfromthebreathernipple,attachatubetothe
breathernipple.
●Prop-recommendation:D22”xP10”.
●Use15:1fuel:oilratioforbreak-in.
●Nevermakethefuelmixtureleanduringbreak-in.Itcouldcauseseizureevenduringidlingor
low-speedrunning.
5.Adjustmentofcarburetorafterinitialbreak-in.
◇Needlereferenceposition(Setafterinitialbreak-in)
●Starttheengineafteradjustingtheneedletothefollowingreferencevalue.
●Mainneedle：Approx.1+1/6~1+1/2turnsCCWfromfullyclosed
●Slowneedle：Approx.6~7turnsCCWfromfullyclosed(Thenthrottlevalve
shouldbefullyclosed)
●Actually,thebestpositionoftheneedlesvarydependingontheprop,
temperature,humidityandsoon.Pleaseadjustasnecessaryafterobserving
theengineperformanceduringflight.
◇Peakadjustment
●Afterstartingtheengine,warmupforapprox.30secondsatlowspeed.
●Achievethepeakatfullthrottle.
→TurnthemainneedleCWgraduallytothepositionwheretheRPMisgreatest(thepeak).ContinuingtoturntheneedleCWpastthepeak
couldleadtoseizuresoturnitslowlyandcarefully.IftheRPMsuddenlydecreasesafterpassingthepeak,instantlyturnthemainneedle
CCWtoagainincreasetheRPM.Otherwiseitcoulddamagetheengineseriously.
●OnceachievingpeakRPM,returnthethrottletolowspeed.Makeanoteofthepositionofmainneedleatthepeakatthattime.(Howmany
turnsyoudidCWbasedonthereferencevalue.)
◇SlowneedleAdjustment
●AfterachievingpeakRPM,nextisslowneedleadjustment.OpenthethrottlefromlowRPMtofullthrottlequickly.
●IftheenginehesitatesforamomentorstallsbeforetheenginereachesmaxRPM,Itʼsbecausethemixtureistoolean.Thenturntheslow
needleCCWslightly.
●IftheengineisslowtoreachpeakRPM(fullthrottleset),itʼsbecausethemixtureistoorich.ThenturntheslowneedleCWslightly.
●AdjusttheslowneedleasaboveuntiltheRPMfollowsthethrottlemovementsmoothly.Theimportantpointistoadjusttheslowneedle
AFTERthemainneedlehasbeenadjustedtoitspeak.
●Nowbreak-inatgroundlevelisdone.Adjusttappetsbythemethoddescribedlater.
◇Pre-flight/Flightadjustment
●Whentheslowneedleadjustmentisdone,checktheresponsebyrevvingupfromlowspeedtofullthrottlequicklyseveraltimes.
●OpenthethrottlefullyandturnthemainneedleCCWapprox.60〜90degreesfromthepeakposition.Thisistomakethefuelmixturericher
intheairwheretheRPMgethigherthanontheground.
●Afteralladjustmentsaremade,flyyouraircraftandfinetunetheengineaccordingtothesituation.Basicallytuningshouldbedonewiththe
mainneedle.Readjustmentoftheslowneedleisrarelyneededifthefirstadjustmentoftheslowneedlehasbeendonesuccessfully.

●Payattentiontothesurroundingssoasnottodisturbothersbynoiseandexhaust.
●Alwayskeepspectatorsbehindtheenginewhenoperatingtheengine.
●Asexhaustsmokeisharmful,becarefulnottobreatheinorotherwiseexposeyourselftoitsharmfuleffects.
●Payattentionnottotouchtherotatingpropellerwhenstartingengine,andmovetorearsideoftheaircraftoncetheengineisstarted.
●Allresponsibilitiesfortheuseoftheengine,andotherobligationsandresponsibilitiesbasedonlaws,regulations,etc.arebornebythe
