Before Starting the Engine Before starting the engine on the ground, ensure that the unit is in an area free from dirt, rocks, dust, etc. that could be sucked up and thrown around by the propeller. Check assembly of the unit, and especially check any and all nuts, bolts, and screws, that could be loose. Also check all parts of the prop cage for looseness.

- In flight One very valuable feature of the XENIT PLUS is its ability to be started while in flight. This feature allows the pilot the freedom to turn-off the engine and glide silently, to enjoy the exhilaration of thermal soaring, and then when he gets low, to start the engine and climb back up to do it again.

Carburetor Adjusting with WALBRO WB 39 Standard carburetor setting When purchased, the motor has a standard carburetor setting and testing. To modify this, you must adjust the two screws of the carburetor. The screw on the right marked with a L (low) regulates the entrance of fuel at the low rpm (the range of the accelerator from zero to half).
During the break-in, gently change RPM from idle to 3/4-throttle and back. At this point, you can fly the XENIT PLUS however avoid long durations of full Power, and vary the throttle setting often. Break-in is complete after 10 liters of fuel have been run through the engine.
