ENGINE Remember that your engine is not a "toy", but a highly efficient internal- combustion machine whose power is capable of harming you, or others, if it is misused. As owner, you, alone, are responsible for the safe operation of your engine, so act with discretion and care at all times. If at some future date, your O.S. engine is acquired by another person, we would respectfully request that these instructions are also passed on to its new owner. The advice which follows applies basically to ALL MODEL ENGINES and is grouped under two headings according to the degree of damage or danger which might arise through misuse or neglect. WARNINGS NOTES These cover events which These cover the many other might involve serious (in possibilities, generally less obvious extreme circumstances, even sources of danger, but which, under fatal) injury. certain circumstances, may also cause damage or injury. 2 WARNINGS • Model engine fuel is poi- • Never operate your engine in an en- sonous.

The MAX-15CV-X Heatsink Head is equipped with a built-in recoil starter system which eliminates the need for a Carburetor separate electric and starter battery.
