Part Three - PROPELLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Master Airscrew

 

For your safety and for the safety of all spectators, follow these instructions carefully!

 

1.      Select correct propeller size, following engine or motor manufacturer’s recommendations.

 

2.      For glass filled nylon: remove any flash along the edges of the propeller by scraping with a sharp knife.

 

3.      Install propeller using the correct nut and washer, with the airfoil side forward and securely tighten with a wrench.

         Recheck after each flight.

 

4.      Only use a “Chicken Stick” or electric starter to start engine, then make adjustments from behind engine.

 

5.      Keep spectator at least 6-8 meters (20 feet) AWAY from and OUT OF the path of a rotating propeller.

 

6.      Wear safety glasses and hand protection when operating model engines. Do not permit any objects to touch a

         turning propeller. Remain clear of propeller arc.

 

7.      To stop engine, cut off the fuel supply or in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT stop the propeller

          with your hand or other object.

 

8.      Inspect the propeller after each flight. Discard any propeller that has nicks, scratches, or any other visible defect.

         DO NOT repair, alter, or in any way modify a propeller.

 

9.      Maximum recommended RPM for Master Airscrew propellers is 165,000 divided by diameter in inches.

 

10.    Painting propeller tips will increase visibility while turning, and is strongly suggested.
