2. Use the correct size and pitch
of propeller for your engine; refer
to the propeller chart in this man-
ual.
3. It is extremely important to bal-
ance the propeller prior to instal-
lation of the engine. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the Saito
engine and/or the airframe. Install
the propeller with the convex
(curved) side facing forward.
Securely tighten the propeller nut
against the washer and propeller.
A "jam" nut (or anti-loosening
nut) is suggested for all 4-cycle
engines.
4. Keep your face and body away
from the path of the propeller
blades when starting or running
your engine.
5. Never allow your hands to
come close to the propeller.
Utilize either a "Start stick"
or electric starter to start the
engine.
6. Make all carburetor abjust-
ments from behind the propeller.
7. To stop the engine, cut off fuel
supply (pinch or disconnect the
fuel line to the caeburetor),or use
the throttle linkage to shut off the
air.
