liquid stops flowing, remove the probe from the POWERMAX can. Several starts are

attainable with a full tank.

Do not over fill the on-board starting gas tank. When you notice the liquid flow into

the tank start to slow down, stop filling. You will prevent any tendency to "pop" on

start up, while still having enough gas for 6 to 8 auto starts from a 4oz. bottle.

Mounting the Turbine

A two-piece, aluminum mounting bracket is included with the turbine. Place the

bracket around the turbine, with the glow plug situated within the slot of the smaller

bracket piece. This will help stabilize the engine along the thrust axis. The glow plug

must be in the vertical position, when mounted in your model (+/- 75° of engine

rotation, from the glow plug at top dead center, is the allowable deviation). Secure

the engine, using four metric mounting screws and lock washers that are provided

with brackets.

Other Notes on Turbine Installation

When the turbine is mounted in models with the air intake at the bottom, for example

an F-16, care should be taken to prevent foreign object damage of the compressor

blades.

This can be accomplished by using a strainer screen at the inlet. The screen mesh

should be about 0.06 inches in width.

KingTech also offers a FOD screen as optional accessory and it is highly recommended

to protect your investment.
