Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a Saito

4-stroke engine.

When cared for properly, these high-quality, finely crafted

engines offer many years of modeling enjoyment.

This instruction manual has been developed to ensure

optimum performance from the Saito engine you

purchased. The instructions must be read through

completely and understood thoroughly prior to mounting

and running the engine.

Safety Instructions

This model engine will give you considerable pleasure,

satisfaction, and performance if you strictly follow these

safety instructions and take heed of the warnings as to its

safe and proper use. Remember at all times it is not a toy

but a precision-built machine with more than enough

power to cause harm if misused or if the safety precautions

are not observed.

1. Mount the engine securely in a "bench mount" or

high-quality motor mount. Never clamp the engine

in a vise.

2. When running the engine, be sure all spectators,

especially children, are at least 20 feet away.

3. Refer to the Propeller section on page 5 for the correct

size and pitch of propeller for your engine.

4. It is extremely important to balance the propeller prior

to installation of the engine. Failure to do so may

cause damage to the Saito engine and/or the airframe.

Install the propeller with the convex (curved) side

facing forward.

5. Securety tighten the propeller nut against the washer

and propeller. An anti-loosening nut (or"jam" nut) is

provided with this engine and should be used.

6. Inspect the tightness of the propeller nut prior to

each flight.

7. Keep away from the path of the propeller blades

when starting and running your engine.

8. Never allow your hands to come close to the propeller.

Utilize either a "chicken stick" or electric starter to

start the engine.

9. Discard any propeller that is nicked, scratched, cracked

or damaged in any way.

10. Make all carburetor adjustments from behind the

propeller.

11. To stop the engine, cut off the fuel supply (pinch or

disconnect the fuel line to the carburetor) or use the

throttle linkage to shut off the fuel.

Do not use hands, fingers, or any other part of the

body to stop the propeller. Do not throw any object

into a propeller to stop it.

Recommendations

●

Safety glasses or goggles be used when starting

and running your engine.

●

Do not run the engine in the vicinity of loose gravel

or sand. The propeller may throw such materials

into your face and eyes. The engine may also ingest

these harmful materials.

●

Loose clothing should be avoided when operating

your model engine. Clothing may become

entangled in the propeller, creating the possibility

of bodily harm. Also, all loose objects (screwdrivers,

pencils, nickel cadmium starters, etc.) should be

removed from your pockets so that they do not fall

into the propeller.

●

Keep glow plug clips and cords away from

the propeller.

●

Be sure glow fuel is kept in a safe place well away

from sparks, heat, or anything that can ignite

the fuel.

Beware

●

Model engines get very hot while running. Do

not attempt to handle them until they have cooled.

●

Always run your model engines in a well-

ventilated area. Similar to automotive engines,

model engines produce possible harmful carbon

monoxide fumes.

●

Remember that model engines produce a

substantial amount of power, more than

enough to seriously injure people and/or do

considerable damage to property. Always use

common sense, skill, and constant observation

of safety precautions.

Disassembly

Do not disassemble your Saito FA-200Ti/100Ti

engine. Only qualified individuals should perform

repairs on your FA200Ti/100Ti engine. Damage due

to improper disassembly will not be covered under

warranty. If it becomes necessary to repair the engine,

such as after a crash, you can send your engine to the

authorized service center at

Horizon Hobby, Inc.
