It is of vital importance, before attempting to operate

your engine, to read the general 'SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS' section on
pages 2-6 of this booklet and to strictly adhere to the
advice contained therein.
Also, please study the entire contents of this
instruction manual, so as to familiarize yourself
JAPAN
with the controls and other features of the engine.
Keep these instructions in a safe place so that you
may readily refer to them whenever necessary.
It is suggested that any instructions supplied with
the aircraft, radio control equipment, etc., are
accessible for checking at the same time.

 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE
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.
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.
