fuel fi lter. Use a fi lter intended to be used with gasoline engines.
Metal fi lters intended for glow engine are too coarse and will not

screen out fi ner particles.

Always fi lter your fuel by using an appropriate fi lter before putting

it into the airplane’s fuel tank.

Gasoline is extremely fl ammable. Keep it away from an open fl ame,

excessive heat or sources of sparks.

Do not smoke near the engine or the fuel tank.

This engine was designed for use in a model aircraft. Do not attempt

to use it for any other purpose.

Always install an ignition system on/off switch on the aircraft used.

Do not install your throttle servo inside the engine compartment.

Doing so could cause radio interference. Install all electronic radio
devices at least 12" [305mm] away from the engine.

Caution: Running the engine with a lean gas mixing will cause the

engine to overheat and burn the electrode of the spark plug. Pay
close attention to the High-speed Needle adjustment. Running the
engine with the proper gas mixing will cause the spark plugs to
appear yellow at the ignition point.

For optimum performance please use fresh or recently purchased

93 octane gasoline (87 octane gasoline will suffi ce) with a 30:1 gas/
oil mixture.

(4.26 fl oz /125.68 ml) = 30:1 ratio

Excessive running of the engine at idle speed can result in a seriously

carbonized spark plug.

Keep the surface of the engine clean to ensure proper heat

dissipation. Ensure proper cooling/ventilation around the cylinder
with adequate air exhaust.

To avoid permanent damage to the electronic ignition system,

NEVER rotate the propeller on your DLE engine with the electronic
ignition system switched on and the plug not installed in the plug cap.

If you choose to use the optional TX activated gas engine kill switch

(DLEG9205) it is strongly recommended that you install the TX

activated kill switch between the with a manual on/off switch and
the ignition. The manual on/off switch provides an added safety
feature in the event the TX activated kill switch does not function
properly. This is especially important during the starting sequence
as it requires the manual on/off switch to be in the ON position
before ignition can occur.
