OPERATING GUIDELINES - ALL ENGINES * We recommend using only COX Super Power Fue?” in all COX engines. If not available, fuel containing at least 20% oll (consisting of no less than 50% castor oil) is recommended. Use of fuel with less than 10% castor oil will void warranty. ‘+ A1.5 volt starting battery and glow head clip is required to start your engine. We recommend the use of the engine starting kits listed below. CAUTION: Using batteries greater than 1.5 volts will damage the glow head and void all warranties. * When adjusting engine speed, allow for a short delay between movement of the needle valve and a change in engine speed, * The fuel pick-up tube inside each tank is positioned (at the factory) for control line flying. For free fight flying, remove the tank from the engine and reposition the fuel pick-up tube to bottom ofthe tank. NOTE: Engine starting kits containing all the iterns required - including fuel - to operate COX engines are available sep- arately. #405 for the Basic Kit, #885 for the Deluxe Kit with tool box. GLOW HEAps: The tiny coil of wire inside the glow head is the ‘element’. When a starting battery is connected to the glow head, the ‘element’ begins to ‘glow’ bright orange. This ‘element will continue to glow in a running engine from the heat of the burning fuel. Due to the extreme environment in which the glow head element operates, itis prone to burn out periodi- cally and require replacement. To replace a burned out glow head, 2 COX engine wrenches (included in the Starting Kit or sold separately) are required. Place one wrench on the upper cylinder where two flat edges have been machined. Hold in place while using the other wrench to remove the glow head. With the glow head removed test the glow head element by connecting the starter battery to it and see if the element glows bright orange. CAUTION: Element is Hot - Do Not Touch! If there is no glow visible, replace the glow head. ENGINE CARE: Keep your engine clean. After running, wipe any exhausted fuel, dirt or debris from the engine. Check the glow head for tightness and the propeller for any damage. If needed, clean the engines with rubbing alcohol. Store a cleaned engine, lubricated with a light oil, in a Zip Lock bag.
