Before Starting - O.S. engine MaX-37SZ-HRING Manual

Tools, accessories, etc.The following items are
necessary for operating the engine.
Items necessary for starting
Battery leads
These are used to conduct current
from the battery to the glowplug.
Basically, two leads, with clips, are
required, but, for greater conve-
nience, twin leads with special
glowplug connectors, as shown on
the right, are commercially available.
Glowplug battery
The power source for heating the glowplug may be
either a large heavy-duty 1.5volt dry cell, Ni-cd battery
or glowplug Igniter.
1.5 volt dry cell
Fuel
Select, by practical tests, the most suitable fuel from among
the best quality fuels available in your country for helicopter
use. For the best throttle response, a fuel containing 10% to
30% nitromethane is preferable. Lubricants may be either
castor-oil or a suitable synthetic oil (or a blend of both)
provided that they are always of top quality. For consistent
performance and long engine life, it is essential to use fuel
containing AT LEAST 18% lubricant by
volume. Some fuels containing coloring
additives tend to deterriorate and may
adversely affect running qualities. If in
doubt compare to a fuel known to be good.
Reminder!
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not allow
it to come into contact with the eyes or
mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked
container and out of the reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable.
Keep it away from open flame, excessive
heat, sources of sparks, or anything else
which might ignite it. Do not smoke, or allow
anyone else to smoke, near to it.
In case of 1.5volt dry cell
Make sure glowplug element
glows bright red inside room
or shadow.

Fuel Pump
Alternatively, one of the purpose-made
manual or electric fuel pumps may be
used to transfer fuel directly from your
fuel container to the fuel tank.
O.S. Super Filter (Fuel Can Filter)
Install a filter to the outlet tube of your
refueling container to prevent entry of
foreign matter into fuel tank. O.S. 'Super
Filters' (large and small) are available as
optional extras.
Fuel Filter
It is recommended to install a good in-
line filter between the fuel tank and
carburetor to prevent entry of foreign
matter from getting into the carburetor.
Silicone Fuel Line
Heatproof silicone tubing of approx.
5mm o.d. and 2.5mm i.d. is required
for the connection between the fuel
tank and engine.
