For your safety and for the safety of those around you -- also to learn what is required to maintain your warranty - we strongly advise you to read this entire manual carefully BEFORE you start using the engine. Safe Operation and 3W's Conditional Warranty For safe operation and to maintain your warranty you must: •...
Spacers can be made from hardwood dowels (3/4" to 1") or machined aluminum bar stock to adjust your down and side thrust. These spacers should go between the motor box and fuselage and not the motor box and engine. www.3w-modellmotoren.com...
Deflecting of the air (baffling) to and over the cylinder(s) is highly recommended for engine cooling. The idea is to get all of the cool air that is coming through the air intake opening(s) to hit the middle of the cylinder(s) directly, and then be forced over the cylinder(s), creating turbulent air moving www.3w-modellmotoren.com...
Important: The interior of the fuselage must be sealed to prevent damage from gasoline that sprays from the carburetor. Use a thin epoxy or other appropriate fuel proofing method. Do not overlook this step as gasoline will melt some materials like Styrofoam very quickly. www.3w-modellmotoren.com...

Canister mufflers To prevent damage to the header(s) a flexible support bracket is required to mount the canister(s). The location for this bracket should be at the canister's center of gravity. 3W canisters have a reinforcement ring at this location.
Carburetor settings Before each engine is shipped it has to pass QC and is then test run. We do a basic adjustment of the carburetor needles at that point. www.3w-modellmotoren.com...
• Use a mixture of 32-1 or even 30-1 • Use this fuel mixture for approximately 2-3 hours of run time • Use a high Octane unleaded fuel (from 92 Octane is ideal) www.3w-modellmotoren.com...

Use a high Octane unleaded fuel (from 92 Octane is recommended) • We use 3W 2-stroke oil in our engines here in Germany, but there are other high grade 2-stroke oils that will perform well. Note: The engine needs 12-20 hours running time for the break in process to be 100% complete.
The spark plug cap must be firmly seated to the sparkplug. If the spark plug cap is not firmly seated there is a very good possibility that you will experience radio interference. • Use only ignition on/off switches recommended by 3W • 6 volts is required for the ignition.

• Make sure that no gasoline will be splashed into the hot muffler(s). • Only 3W mufflers, or mufflers authorized by 3W with an acceptance (test) number, should be used. • Only 3W-ignition systems should be used for proper operation.
4. If the idle RPM drops until the engine stops; the low needle (L) is too rich. Lean the low needle (L) until a constant idle RPM is achieved. 5. Check the transition with a quick throttle advance. The engine should not sound strained www.3w-modellmotoren.com...
Check the carburetor settings. Check to see if the propeller is too large. Verify that you have the correct muffler system. Check to see if the engine is overheating. Check the ignition timing. Check the spark plug for defect. Verify you have the correct gasoline, oil, and have mixed them with the correct ratio. www.3w-modellmotoren.com...
