Page 3: Introduction
Hammer Engines GmbH / IQ-Series / Instruction Manual Introduction The „IQ-Hammer“ RC model jet engines by Hammer Engines have the same functional principles as their big counterparts. A high performance compressor compresses the ingested air, which is then heated by fuel flame in the combustion chamber and the heat causes the air to expand rapidly, enabling it to drive an axial turbine rotor, which in return drives the aforementioned compressor via a shaft. -
Page 4: Safety Precautions
Hammer Engines GmbH / IQ-Series / Instruction Manual Safety Precautions Welcome to the Jet Age of RC model aircrafts! Never forget: Operating a jet engine like the IQ-Hammer can be dangerous. An aircraft model equipped with the IQ-Hammer can reach speeds of more than 400 km/h (250 mph) and temperatures up to 500 °C (930 °F) at the engine housing and up to 750 °C (1380 °F) at the... - Page 5 in bad weather with low clouds or fog. Never fly directly against the sunlight – otherwise you might lose visual contact with your model. To avoid collisions with manned or unmanned aircraft, land your model immediately if an aircraft is approaching. Persons and animals must keep the following minimum distance to the jet engine (see also the figure on page 6): In front of the engine: 1 m (3 ft) At the sides of the engine: 12 m (36 ft)
- Page 6 Hammer Engines GmbH / IQ-Series / Instruction Manual Only test the jet engine at suitable places outdoor and observe the applicable laws and regulations. Always enforce the proper minimum safe distance from the turbine: Never look straight into the exhaust jet and never touch it or the exhaust stream with your hands.

Hammer Engines GmbH / IQ-Series / Instruction Manual Checklist for the first time of Operation of the IQ-Hammer turbine Install and connect the components according to the installation plan (see page 14). Pay special attention to the correct connection of the FUEL valve and to a proper plumbing of the tubes without kinking them. - Page 10 Open the fuel tank ventilation, then fill the fuel tank(s) with fuel containing approximately 5 % of AeroShell 500 or AeroShell 560 oil Have a CO2 fire extinguisher at hand! Turn on the R/C transmitter, and then turn on the receiver. Place your aircraft model with the nose into the wind.

Do not confuse this value with pump-voltage at 100% throttle. This value is only being used in order to identify failure. Should this limit be exceeded the pump will be switched of automatically! The set voltage should be a tad above 100% throttle V.
