Notes Concerning The Recoil Starter; Pressurized Fuel System; Starting The Engine & Running-In; ('Breaking-In) - O.S. engine max-18tz series Owner's Instruction Manual

In case of the 18TZ-TX
Avoid forcing the screws. Secure with locknuts.
If the bottom of the recoil starter housing would
otherwise touch the car chassis, install the en-
gine mount spacers (optional extra) between
the engine's mounting lugs and the engine
mount. With some vehicles, it may be neces-
sary to make minor trimming modifications to
chassis or body when installing the engine.
NOTE:
When spacers are supplied joined in pairs
(see sketch) separate them as shown.
Either face may be placed downwards.

PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM

The somewhat violent changes of vehicle
attitude that occur in off-road running,
combined with the fact that, in buggy type
cars, the fuel tank is often located some
distance from the carburetor, means that
fuel 'head' at the carburettor can vary and
upset running.Therefore,it is recommended
that a muffler pressurized fuel feed system
be used.
Never run your vehicle without installing the
air cleaner. Dust and dirt that may otherwise
be drawn into the engine will rapidly shorten
its life.

NOTES CONCERNING THE RECOIL STARTER

REMINDER!
Do not attempt to disassemble the recoil starter.
If you do so, the very strong spring inside will be
suddenly ejected. This can be very dangerous.
Do not extend the starter cord more than 40cm
(16"). Do not abruptly release the operating
handle. Allow the cord to rewind smoothly while
still holding the handle.
Pull the operating handle straight out when
starting the engine, so that the cord does not
rub against the vehicle body or engine.
This will help prevent the cord from being
damaged by abrasion or engine heat.
Try to avoid spilling fuel over the starter unit and
its cord. Some fuels have a detrimental effect on
these parts.
The starter prevents the engine from being ro-
tated in the wrong direction.The unit will be
damaged if you attempt to force the flywheel in
the opposite direction (i.e. clockwise when
viewed from the crankshaft end).

Before starting the engine, always
check the tightness of all the screws
and nuts especially those of joint and
movable parts such as throttle arm.
!
Missing retightening
screws and nuts often causes the
parts breakage that is capable of
harming you.
STARTING THE ENGINE &
RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in)
The following procedure is suitable for these
engines when the O.S. T-1040 tuned silencer
and a fuel containing up to 30% nitrome-
thane are used.
Fill the tank completely with fuel.
Temporarily remove the glowplug to check
that it glows bright red when energized.
