SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE
Remember that your engine is not a "toy", but a highly efficient internal­combustion 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 is grouped under two headings according to the degree of damage or danger which might arise through misuse or neglect.
WARNINGS
! 
These cover events which might involve serious (in extreme circumstances, even fatal) injury.
! 
Never touch, or allow any object to come into contact with, the rotating parts.
Model engine fuel is poison-
ous. Do not allow it to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also
highly flammable. Keep it away from open flame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or anything else which might ignite it. Do not smoke or allow anyone else to smoke, near to it.
These cover the many other possibilities, generally less obvious sources of danger, but which, under certain circumstances, may also cause damage or injury.

WARNINGS
Never operate your engine in an en­closed space. Model engines, like auto­mobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon­monoxide. Run your engine only in an open area.
Model engines generate
considerable heat. Do not touch any part of your engine until it has cooled. Contact with the muffler (silencer), cylinder head or exhaust header pipe, in particular, may result in a serious burn.

!
This engine was designed for model
helicopters. Do not attempt to use it for any other purpose.
Mount the engine in your model securely, fol-
lowing the manufacturers' recommendations, using appropriate screws and locknuts.
Install an effective silencer (muffler). Frequent
close exposure to a noisy exhaust (especially in the case of the more powerful high-speed engines) may eventually impair your hearing and such noise is also likely to cause annoyance to others over a wide area.
Check the linkage to the throttle arm before
each flight. Avoid sudden high r.p.m. immediately after the
engine is started, as the clutch will engage and you may be struck by the rotor.
NOTES
After starting the engine, carry out any needle-
valve readjustments after stopping the rotor by closing the throttle to the lowest r.p.m.. Stop the engine before attempting to make other adjustments to the carburetor.
Use an electric starter. The wearing of safety
glasses is also strongly recommended. Press the rotor head down securely.
Take care that the glow plug clip or battery
leads do not come into contact with rotating parts.
Adjust the throttle linkage so that the engine
stops when the throttle stick and trim lever on the transmitter are fully retarded. Alternatively, the engine may be stopped by cutting off the fuel supply. Never try to stop the engine physically.

!
Take care that loose clothing (ties, shirt sleeves,
scarves etc.) do not come into contact with the rotor. Do not carry loose objects (such as pen­cils, screwdrivers, etc.) in a shirt pocket from where they could fall through the rotor disc.
For their safety, keep all onlookers (especially
small children) well back (at least 20 feet or 6 metres) when preparing your model for flight. If you have to carry the model to the take-off point with the engine running, be especially cautious. Hold the rotor securely and keep well clear of spectators.
Warning! lmmediately after a glowplug-ignition
engine has been run and is still warm, conditions sometimes exist whereby it is just possible for the engine to restart when turned over WITHOUT the glowplug battery being reconnected. Remember this if you wish to avoid the risk of accidents.

Notes on installing cooling fan and clutch
Do not use a tool which locks piston when installing a cooling-fan and clutch, or top of the piston may be damaged. Also, do not insert a screw driver or the similar into the exhaust port.
It is recommended to use Crankshaft Clamp 91 (Code No.71530510) available as an optional tool. It is made of durable engineering plastic and locks the crankshaft without risk of damage to any part of the engine.
Application is as follows:
Remove the crankcase rear cover plate from the engine and rotate the crankshaft to the bottom dead center (BDC) position.
Insert the crankshaft clamp so that its grooved portion surrounds the crankpin and lower end of the connecting rod and securely tighten the fan or clutch onto the crankshaft.
BDC position
Rotate the crankshaft so that the connecting rod comes to this position.
Insert this groove onto the connecting rod.

NOTES WHEN APPLYING AN ELECTRIC STARTER
Because of this initial tightness, a standard electric starter may have difficulty in rotating the engine when cold, before it has been adequately run-in. In this case, use a high-torque type starter.
Do not over-prime. This could cause a hydraulic lock and damage the engine on application of the electric starter.
If over-primed, remove glowplug, close needle-valve and apply starter to pump out surplus fuel. Cover the head with a rag to prevent pumped out fuel from getting into your eyes.
7
Note on heating the glow plug
The heatsink head on the engine is treated with Alumite which does not conduct current. Therefore, when heating a glow plug, connect one lead to the glow plug and the other to the head of cover plate retaining screw.

INTRODUCTION
This is a high performance engine expressly designed for 3D flight with 90 size helicopters basing on the MAX-91SZ-H RING and equipping O.S.'s original PD-07 pump and regulator system. The pump feeds fuel stably irrespective of violent changes in model attitude and the regulator regulates fuel pressure from the pump keeping the pressure at a set level. The 60M-P carburetor with twin needles enables adjustment of idling, hovering and the 'in air flight' independently.
Note:
As delivered, the carburetor is not installed on the engine. Install the carburetor securely on the engine referring to the INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR section.

Items necessary for starting
Glow Plug
O.S. No.8 is supplied with the engine.
Battery leads
These are used to conduct current from the battery to the glowplug. Basically, two leads, with clips, are required, but, for greater conve­nience, twin leads with special glowplug connectors, as shown on the right, are commercially available.
Glowplug battery
The power source for heating the glowplug may be either a large heavy-duty 1.5volt dry cell, Ni-cd battery or glowplug Igniter.
1.5 volt dry cell

Fuel
Select, by practical tests, the most suitable fuel from among the best quality fuels available in your country for helicopter use. For the best throttle response, a fuel containing 10% to 30% nitromethane is preferable. Lubricants may be either castor-oil or a suitable synthetic oil (or . a blend of both) provided that they are always of top quality. For consistent performance and long engine life, it is essential to use fuel containing AT LEAST 18% lubricant by volume. Some fuels containing coloring additives tend to deterriorate and may adversely affect running qualities. If in doubt compare to a fuel known to be good.
Reminder!
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not allow it to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable. Keep it away from open flame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or anything else which might ignite it. Do not smoke, or allow anyone else to smoke, near to it.
Fuel Pump
Alternatively, one of the purpose­made manual or electric fuel pumps may be used to transfer fuel directly from your fuel container to the fuel tank.
O.S. Super Filter (Fuel Can Filter)
Install a filter to the outlet tube of your refueling container to prevent entry of foreign matter into fuel tank. O.S. ‘Super Filters’ (large and small) are available as optional extras.
Fuel Filter
It is recommended to install a good in­line filter between the fuel tank and the PD-07 pump to prevent entry of foreign matter into the carburetor.
Silicone Fuel Line
Heatproof silicone tubing of approx. 5mm o.d. and 2.5mm i.d. is required for the connection between the fuel tank and engine.
