O.S. Engines 46LA-S - Manual (Page 16)

Warning: When using a spinner assembly, make
sure that the notches in the spinner shell are
large enough to clear the propeller blades and so
do not cut into and weaken the blade roots.
Tighten the spinner nut firmly so that compression is
first felt as indicated (i.e. with blades horizontal) when
turning the propeller in the direction of arrow.
3 Filling the fuel tank
Do not allow fuel to overflow into
silencer when refuelling, otherwise
engine may become flooded and
difficult to start.
Fuel pump
Use a fuel can filter
(e.g. O.S. Super Filter).
Re-connect
delivery tube
to engine after
tank is filled.
Disconnect delivery tube
from the fuel inlet, and
connect it to the tubing
from the fuel pump.
Do not let dirt or
dust enter fuel can.
