Starting The Evolution Engine - Hangar 9 ARROW Instruction Manual

Starting the Evolution Engine

Field Equipment Needed
The following are included in the Hangar 9
Accessory Pack (HANSTART)
• Sturdy cardboard construction tote box
• Manual fuel pump
• Hangar 9 glow plugs (2)
• 4-way wrench
• Rechargeable glow driver with charger
• Start stick
Other Items Needed
(not included in Start-Up Field Accessory Pack)
• Fuel, 10 to 15% nitro content
(Cool Power or Powermaster recommended)
• Electric starter (optional)
Step 1
Fill the fuel tank with the proper fuel. We recommend 10% or
15% nitro content such as Cool Power or Powermaster fuel. Fill
the tank by connecting the fuel pump to the line that is connected
to the remote needle valve assembly. Disconnect the fuel line
attached to the pressure fitting of the muffler; your tank is full
when fuel begins to run out of the pressure line. Reconnect the
fuel lines to the needle valve assembly and muffler.
Note: It is very important to reconnect the lines to
the correct place. If they are reconnected incorrectly,
the engine will not run properly.
Step 2
® Start-Up Field To prime your engine, first turn on your transmitter and then your
receiver. Move the throttle to full open and place your finger over
the carburetor opening. Turn the propeller over by hand until you
can see fuel entering the fuel line. Move the throttle stick full
down to idle.
Caution: Always have a helper hold your plane when
starting the engine.
Step 3
Move the throttle to the low position and the throttle trim lever to
the middle position. Place the glow driver on the glow plug and,
using a start stick, turn the propeller counterclockwise through
the compression stroke. You should feel a "bump" against the
start stick. When you feel the "bump," flip the propeller counter
clockwise to start the engine. Repeat the process if the engine
does not start.
