[. . . ] It is of vital importance, before attempting to operate your engine, to read the general 'SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS' section on pages 2-3 of this booklet and to strictly adhere to the advice contained therein. · Also, please study the entire contents of · · this instruction manual, so as to familiarize yourself with the controls and other features of the engine. Keep these instructions in a safe place so that you may readily refer to them whenever necessary. It is suggested that any instructions supplied with the model radio control equipment, etc. , are accessible for checking at the same time. CONTENTS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O. S.

[. . . ] To do so is likely to seriously damage the working parts. 9 Nozzle Mixture Control Valve (Mixture Control Screw) x Heat the glowplug by connecting the battery leads. x Make sure that the direction of rotation of the electric starter is correct, namely, clockwise. If necessary, reverse leads on battery to provide clockwise rotation. x Bring the starter into contact with the Throttle Rotor Hole Clockwiserotation STARTING x Set the needle-valve. Turn the needle flywheel and depress the starter switch for one or two seconds. clockwise slowly, Warning: Do not apply the starter to a flooded engine and never place your finger over the carburettor intake when using the starter. This may cause an hydraulic lock and bend the connecting-rod. x Adjusting the needle-valve: adjust the needle-valve to its without forcing, until it stops. Then, reopen the needle-valve 2-1/2turns counterclockwise. Mark Close Turn needle-valve counterclockwise to open (for richer mixture) Turn needle-valve clockwise to close (for leaner mixture) optimum setting only while actually running your boat on the water. x To stop the engine, fully close the throttle to cut off air Open supply. x Open the throttle very slightly: This is to avoid unnecessarily high revolutions when the engine starts. 10 RUNNING-IN (''Breaking-in'') For long life and high-performance, every engine needs to be properly 'run-in' or 'broken-in'. There are several running-in methods, but the following is suitable for use with the MAX21XM. (The set-screw on the Needle-Valve knob may be used as a reference mark. ) 2. Never touch, or allow any object to come into contact with, the rotating propeller and do not crouch over the engine when it is running. Contact with the muffler (silencer) or cylinder, also, may result in a serious burn. It is vitally important to set the throttle at the correct starting position before starting the engine. If the engine is allowed to run under 'no-load' conditions, it will speed up to extremely high revolutions even at part-throttle settings which may result in serious damage. Be careful not to put excessive load on the steering servo when starting the engine with an electric starter. It is advisable to set the steering fully left before applying an electric starter. 3. It is necessary to warm up the engine by running it at around the idling setting for a while after starting, as with the engine of a full size boat. Leaving the Needle-Valve set at the starting setting of 2-1/2 turns open, run the boat several times with the throttle fully open until at least three full tanks of fuel have been consumed. (It should be noted that, at this stage, it may not be possible for the engine to idle reliably because of the over-rich setting of the Needle-Valve. ) 5. For the remaining period of running-in, refer to the adjustment procedures detailed later. The boat will need to be run for about 10 tanks of fuel to complete the running-in period. If as a result of your boat being capsized, the engine takes in water, remove the glowplug, invert the engine and eject water by carefully turning the flywheel, first by hand and then with the electric starter. Make every effort to ensure that no water remains in the engine before attempting to restart it, or it may be damaged by an hydraulic lock. [. . . ] One of these filters, fitted to the outlet tube inside your refuelling container, will prevent the entry of foreign material into the fuel tank. 2 Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove dirt and lint that accumulate on the filter screens. 3 At the end of each operating session, drain out any fuel that may remain in the fuel tank. Afterwards, energize the glowplug and try to restart the engine, to burn off any fuel that may remain inside the engine. Leaving fuel residues within the engine can result in difficult starting after a period of storage. [. . . ]
