Safety Precautions - ACE RC Seamaster ACE4527 Assembly Manual

FLIGHT
PRE-FLIGHT CHECK LIST
1. Check all control surfaces for possible looseness or deterioration.
2. Check all screws, clevises, nuts and all other connectors to
make sure they are securely fastened.
3. Check which radio frequencies are being used. Do not turn
on your radio until absolutely sure you are the only one oper-
ating on that frequency.
4. Check for proper operation of all control surfaces.
5. Check the level of charge in both the transmitter and receiver
batteries before flying.
6. Range check the radio both with and without the engine running!
Follow the radio manufacturers instructions for this.
POST -FLIGHT CHECK LIST
1. Be sure that both the transmitter and receiver switches are
turned off.
2. Drain all excess fuel from the tank. Fuel left in the tank for
extended periods can "gunk up"the tank, fittings and carburetor.
3. Clean the plane with paper towels and a light-duty spray
cleanser. Keeping your plane clean will make it last longer
and keep it looking nice.
4. Put a few drops of after-run or light oil in the carburetor and
turn the prop over a few times (without the glow plug ignited)
to distribute the oil throughout the engine.
5. Inspect the prop and replace it if any chips or cracks are found.
6. Inspect the entire plane for covering tears, new dings and
dents, loose screws and connectors and any other wear and
tear.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Wear safety glasses when starting and running all model engines.
2. Model engine fuel is very flammable and the flame is very
dangerous because it is almost invisible! Do not smoke or allow
sparks, high heat or other flames near the fuel.
3. Do not run model engines inside a garage or other closed room as
they give off large amounts of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
4. Do not run model engines around gravel, sand or other loose
debris. These materials will be ingested through the carburetor
and can also be kicked up by the prop.
5. Always stay behind the propeller when the engine is running.
Make all engine adjustments from behind the engine.
6. Do not allow loose clothing or other loose objects close to the prop.
7. To stop an engine, cut off the fuel or air supply to the engine.
Do not throw rags or other objects into the prop to stop the
engine.
8. Do not touch the engine or muffler during or right after it has
been running–it gets very hot!
