[. . . ] Install 4 AA size alkaline batteries in receiver battery box and strap the battery box onto the battery plate with two large nylon zip-ties. h. Connect the receiver battery box wire/connector to the receiver switch wire/connector. Install the battery box & plate onto the posts, then use the large body clips to secure the plate onto posts. 2a INSTALLING STEERING SERVO LINKAGE b c a. Install the servo horn onto steering servo output shaft with its original screw. [. . . ] The carburetor opening should still be the same at neutral, throttle spring compressed slightly, and the brake engaged. b. c. ADJUSTING THROTTLE / BRAKE LINKAGE b c To set the throttle/brake linkage, first the radio should be on and neutral; thus, the servo is at neutral position. With the servo at neutral, turn and adjust the brake collar to a point where the brake lever almost engages the brake system, but not yet. Then, manually close the carburetor, and set the collar (next to the spring) with the spring slightly compressed. Then, set the other collar next to the linkage pivot. 12 a d ADJUSTING CARBURETOR b c e f a. To set the carburetor idle (small screw with spring off center on the side of carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Please refer to ENGINE BREAK-IN/TUNING procedures to properly set the engine. b. To set the high speed needle (large needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Please refer to ENGINE BREAK-IN/TUNING procedures to properly set the engine. c. To set the mid speed needle (large needle in the middle of the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Please refer to ENGINE BREAK-IN/TUNING procedures to properly set the engine. d. Always check to see if there are any modelers operating on the same frequency as your are.

By the act of assembling or operating this product, the user accepts all resulting liability. If the buyer is not prepared to accept this liability, then he/she should return this kit in new, unassembled, and unused condition to the place of purchase. 7 14 a d PREPARING THE ENGINE b c e f a. If it lights up dimly, then the glow plug igniter is low (and it needs recharging). If it does not light up or the plug element looks distorted, then the glow plug is bad (replace with new one). With the radio off, manually turn the servo to open the carburetor (open throttle). Insert the tip of the starting tool into the engine starting hub on the back plate and turn the engine for a few seconds to prime the engine with the starter. Insert the starting tool and turn the engine over with the electric starter for a few seconds. Repeat until the engine starts. Throttle maybe required to be opened momentarily, but release throttle back to neutral immediately after the engine starts. Remove the glow plug igniter from engine after engine has started and warmed up. [. . . ] For normal operations, the optimum setting for high speed needle should be 1/2 to 1/4 turn counterclockwise from the peak setting. Continuous engine operation at peak setting may result in overheating and engine damage. To set the low speed needle (small hex screw inside the carburetor's slide/lever), the engine needs to be broken in and high speed needle needs to be set first. Repeat STEP #5 every 12 seconds (2 seconds at full throttle and 10 seconds at idle). [. . . ]
