Operating Instructions:

1. This brushless motor requires a sensorless brushless speed control

(electronic speed control or ESC). Failure to use the correct ESC may result
in damage to the motor and/or speed control. Refer to your ESC instructions
for correct operation with this motor and a propeller.

2. Where needed, always attach motor with short screws that do not enter

and damage the motor. Use screws and other hardware included with your
motor.

3. Where needed, install included 3 bullet connectors (EFLA249) on the output

wires of your ESC using solder and heat shrink insulation (to prevent short
circuiting). The 3 motor wires can be connected in any order to the 3 ESC
output wires or output port on an ESC.

4. Make sure the motor turns in the correct direction for your model. Change

the direction the motor turns by changing the connection of any 2 motor
wires on the ESC.

5. Install a propeller on the motor shaft after you ensure the motor turns

in the proper direction.

6. Make sure the motor is mounted on the model to ensure good air circulation

during operation. The motor generates heat when operated at maximum
power. The user is responsible to make sure the motor does not overheat.
Overheating the motor is not covered under any warranty.

7. Never cut or otherwise change the length or size of motor wires. Remove

connectors by heating and removing solder.
NOTICE: Changing the motor wires is improper modification of the motor
and may cause the motor to fail.

CAUTION: When the motor is connected to power, use extreme

caution or injury and damage can result. Motors turn propellers at danger-
ously high RPM (revolutions per minute) so stay clear of the motor and
propeller during operation.

Motor Mounting using an X-Mount

Illustration shows installation of a motor and X-mount on a firewall.
Other attachment options are available such as motor installation in
the fuselage (requiring the reversing of the shaft as described above)
or attaching the motor using aftermarket standoffs when using cowlings.

1. Refer to model plans for the recommended motor installation position. Align

and center the motor mount on the firewall for correct propeller clearance.

2. First trial-fit the aluminum X-mount against the front of the firewall of your

model and use a pen to mark the locations of the four screw holes.

3. Drill appropriate size holes to fit the included blind nuts. Always be sure to

maintain the proper thrust line and account for adequate prop/spinner clear-
ance for your model.

4. Attach the included aluminum X-mount to the motor using 4 included

flat head (countersunk) screws.

5. Install included 4 blind nuts on the inner side of the firewall.
6. Attach the aluminum X-mount to the firewall using the blind nuts and

included 4 socket head cap 3mm screws and 4 washers.
NOTICE: At final assembly, apply a small amount of blue threadlock
(example A shown in illustration) to screws and bolts to keep
these fasteners from becoming loose.

Changing Shaft Orientation

1. Loosen the setscrew on the shaft collar and remove the collar

from the shaft.

2. Loosen the two setscrews on the rotating end of the motor.
3. Push the shaft through the motor. A small hammer is required

to lightly tap the shaft.

CAUTION: DO NOT bend or damage the motor shaft as injury

or property damage may result.

4. Install the shaft collar against the bearing using the setscrew.
5. Tighten both setscrews on the rotating end of the motor. Tighten

one setscrew against the flat face on the motor shaft.
NOTICE: At final assembly, apply a small amount of blue
threadlock (example A shown in illustration) to setscrews to keep
these fasteners from becoming loose. DO NOT use a large amount
of threadlock that can get in the motor.
