MISFIRES
TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CONTROLLER. WAIT ONE MINUTE BEFORE GOING
NEAR THE RACER. Take the plug and igniter out of the engine. If the igniter has
burned, it worked but did not ignite the engine because it was not touching the propellant
inside the engine. Put a new igniter all the way inside the engine without bending it.
Push the plug in place. Repeat steps C through K.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental ignition and risk of burns or other injury,
make certain safety key is not in race controller when:
• You are connecting micro-clips to the engine/igniter.
• You or others are within 15 ft. (4.6 m) of race track.
