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 or abused. 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.

WARNINGS

These cover events which might involve

serious (in extreme circumstances, even fatal )

injury.

NOTES

These cover the many other possibilities,

generally less obvious sources of danger, but

which, under certain circumstances, may also

cause damage or injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE

■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

Never touch, or allow any object to come into contact with, the rotating

propeller and do not crouch over the engine when it is running.

A weakened or loose propeller may disintegrate or be thrown off and, since propeller

tip speeds with powerful engines may exceed 600 feet(180 metres) per second, it will

be understood that such a failure could result in serious injury, (see 'NOTES' section

relating to propeller safety).

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.

Never operate your engine in an enclosed space. Model engines, like automobile

engines, exhaust deadly carbon-monoxide. 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.

•

NOTES

This engine was designed for model aircraft. Do not attempt to use it for

any other purpose.

Mount the engine in your model securely, following the manufacturers'

recommendations, using appropriate screws and locknuts.

Be sure to use the silencer (muffler) supplied with the engine. Frequent

exposure to an open exhaust may eventually impair your hearing.

Such noise is also likely to cause annoyance to others over a wide area.

Fit a top-quality propeller of the diameter and pitch specified for the engine

and aircraft. Locate the propeller on the shaft so that the curved face of the

blades faces forward-i.e. in the direction of flight. Firmly tighten the

propeller nut, using the correct size wrench.

Always check the tightness of the propeller nut and retighten it, if

necessary, before restarting the engine, particularly in the case of four-

stroke-cycle engines. A safety locknut assembly is provided. Always use it.

This will prevent the propeller from flying off in the event of a "backfire",

even if it loosens.

If you fit a spinner, make sure that it is a precision made product and that

the slots for the propeller blades do not cut into the blade roots and

weaken them.

Discard any propeller which has become split, cracked, nicked or

otherwise rendered unsafe. Never attempt to repair such a propeller:

destroy it. Do not modify a propeller in any way, unless you are highly

experienced in tuning propellers for specialized competition work such as

pylon-racing.

Use an electric starter for this engine. The wearing of safety glasses is also

strongly recommended.

•

Take care that the glow plug clip or battery leads do not come into contact

with the propeller.

Also check the linkage to the throttle arm. A disconnected linkage could

also foul the propeller.

•

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 propeller.

Do not carry loose objects (such as pencils, screwdrivers, etc.) in a shirt

pocket from where they could fall through the propeller arc.

Do not start your engine in an area containing loose gravel or sand.

The propeller may throw such material in your face and eyes and cause

injury.

For their safety, keep all onlookers (especially small children) well back (at

least 20 feet or 6 meters) 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. Keep the propeller pointed away from you and walk

well clear of spectators.

Warning! Immediately after a glowplug-ignition engine has been run and is

still warm, conditions sometimes exist whereby it is just possible for the

engine to abruptly restart if the propeller is casually flipped over

compression WITHOUT the glowplug battery being reconnected.

Remember this if you wish to avoid the risk of a painfully rapped knuckle!

NOTES

This engine is the MAX-140RX-FI (fuel injection) engine equipped with a

revolutionary fuel supply system that was jointly developed by Futaba, a

manufacturer of Radio control equipment, and Ogawa Seiki, a

manufacturer of model engines.

This system detects engine speed with a sensor based on throttle

signals transmitted from a transmitter. It then determines the fuel

injection volume based on the required amount of fuel to be supplied for

that engine speed as calculated by an electronic control unit referred to

as the "EC-1", after which fuel is injected into the engine from an

injector. In addition, adjustments can also be made using dials on the

transmitter. The result is an F3A competition engine that features

excellent engine speed linearity relative to throttle operation under all

types of flight conditions.

INTRODUCTION

FEATURES

Supplies the Proper Amount of Fuel at all Times

•Easier starting

•Greater stability during idling

•Excellent linearity and response relative to stick operation.

Simple Adjustment Using Dials on the Transmitter

•Air-fuel mixture at medium and high speeds can be safety and easily adjusted

from the transmitter.

•Adjustments can be made while on the ground and during flight.

Stable Supply of Fuel at all Times

Pressurized fuel is controlled at a constant pressure with respect to all types of

movement during flight allowing stable engine performance at all times.

Light Weight and Easy Installation

The sensor and injector mounted on the engine are both compact and

lightweight, while the electronic control unit (EC-1) is also lightweight, enabling

various connections to be made easily the same as plugging in a servo.

Monitoring of Flight Status

Maximum engine speed and maximum temperature during flight can be

viewed on the liquid crystal display of the electronic control unit (EC-1)

following completion of the flight, making it possible to use that data for future

reference.

The injector consists of a solenoid valve with built-in regulator. It controls pressurized fuel at a

constant pressure and accurately injects fuel based on signals from the electronic control unit (EC-

Temperature Sensor This measures the temperature of the engine exhaust unit.

RPM Sensor

The RPM sensor is provided with a power generating sensor. When the crankshaft passes in front

of the sensor, the signal that is generated is transmitted to the electronic control unit (EC-1).

Engine speed is then calculated based on that signal which is then used to determine the timing at

which fuel is injected.

Electronic Control Unit<EC-1> (abbreviated as simply EC-1)

The EC-1 transmits fuel injection signals to the injector to ensure the proper amount of fuel

injection based on basic fuel injection data that has been previously entered and constantly

changes wuth position of throttle stick. In addition, engine speed and engine temperature during

operation are displayed on the liquid crystal display.

INSTALLATION OF THE AIR VALVE

As delivered, the engine has its air valve lightly fitted into its intake boss. Secure it as follows.

Loosen the retainer nut, rotate the air valve to its correct position and make sure that it is pressed

well down into the intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket, before retightening nut.

Rotate the retainer nut gently until it stops, then tighten a further 90-120˚.

Do not overtighten the screw as this will damage the thermo insulator.
