Engine Shut Down Procedure - RHINO Power Pack series Operation Manual

Once this phase is finished, the reading will be "FUEL RAMP". In this
phase the engine receives fuel only through its normal fuel input, and
battery power to the internal ceramic igniter will be disconnected. The
fuel flow and starter power will be increased automatically to increase
the RPM up to idle RPM. When 25.000 RPM is reached the
POWERPACK / ECU will automatically disconnect power to the starter.
When the rotor speed reaches idle, the screen will change to "running" and the engine speed
is stabilized.
Control of engine power/rpm is now handed back to the transmitter and controlled by the
position of the throttle stick.
Increase/decrease the throttle slowly, verifying that the engine
accelerates/decelerates. Leave at full throttle to verify that turbine has
reached max RPM, if not the "CALC PUMP" screen will appear,
meaning that the ECU is changing and memorizing new conditions.
Leave it there until it changes back to "RUNNING"
Take special care around the engine intake; keep your hands at a safe distance along
with any other objects as they can be easily ingested.

6.2.6 Engine shut down procedure

To shut down the engine lower the trim and the stick. Is recommendable that before shutting
down the engine please restrain the model then raise the throttle stick to approximately 25%,
allowing temperatures to stabilize for around 5 seconds before carrying out the shutdown
procedure.
Note: Trim must be in the lowest position in order for the Auto Cool down to work.
At this moment you can turn Off the RX and transmitter and the turbine will continue the cool
down sequence until the temperature gets below 100º, then it will turn itself off
WHAT TO DO IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
During the start sequence the POWERPACK / ECU will be in charge of everything, controlling
temperature and RPM. The only thing the user can do is to abort the sequence by lowering
the trim in the case that something abnormal (excessive flames in the exhaust, etc).
If a problem is detected, first:
MOVE THE TRIM TO THE LOW POSITION TO ABORT THE SEQUENCE.
The engine is running!
