IMPORTANT: Before attempting to operate your engine, please read through these instructions

and separate sheet enclosed so as to familiarize yourself with the controls and other features of

the engine. Also, pay careful attention to the recommendations contained in the "Safety Instruc-

tions and Warnings" leaflet enclosed.

Your "Gemini Series" engine is a scale-type horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder overhead-valve

four-stroke-cycle engine. It is a more powerful development of the FT-120 Gemini introduced

in 1979 and further demonstrates O.S. pre-eminence in four-stroke engine manufacture, as first

established in 1976 with the introduction of the single-cylinder FS-60 and continued in the latest

O.S. single, twin and multi-cylinder models.

Like all O.S. motors, the "Gemini Series" engines are built to standards of skilled craftsmanship

that have been developed through sixty years of O.S. production history, a history that is not

only the longest in the model engine manufacturing world, but includes such milestones as

the world's first and only production model 'Wankel' rotary engine, the world's first quantity-

produced model four-stroke-cycle engine and the world's first model aircraft engine to be equip-

ped with a genuine supercharger.

Quality is a watchword at the O.S. factory, which is equipped to a standard unequalled by any

other manufacturer in the industry world-wide. Fully computerized modem machinery and the

use of carefully selected top quality materials ensure the production of engines of consistent

performance and long life.
