●Besuretousethemixture“gasoline:oil=15~20:1”byvolumeratio.(Ex.1000mlofgasolineshouldbemixedwithmorethan50mlofoil).
●Duringthebreak-inprocess,use15:1mixedfueltoensurethebestlubricationforinitialrunning.
●Anydamagecausedbythefuelused,inwhichtheoilratioislowerthan20:1willnotbecoveredbywarranty.

3.Propeller
●RecommendedpropellerisMejzlikD22”xP10”whichbringsapprox.7,100rpm.
●Useareliablepropwhichbringsmaximum6,500~7,500rpminconformitytoyourplane.
●Useawell-balancedprop.Neveruseapropthathasbeenscratchedordamagedevenifslightly.
●Neveruseexcessivelylightorheavyloadedprop.Theymaycauseenginefailure,bigaccident,oreveninjury.
●Asthepropelleriscompressedslightly,tightenthepropellernuteveryhourofoperation.
4.Break-inMOSTIMPORTANT!!
●Beforestartingtheengine,injectasuitableamount(approx.20〜30cc)ofengineoilintothelubricationnippleonthecrankcaseusinga
syringeorpumpwhileturningthepropellerbyhand.Afterthat,plugthisnipple.Asexcessisdischargedfromthebreathernipple,attacha
tubetothebreathernipple.
●Prop-recommendationforbreak-inprocess:Mejzlik22”x10”
●Use15:1fuel:oilratioforbreak-in.
●Nevermakethefuelmixtureleanduringbreak-in.Itcouldcauseseizureevenduringidlingor
low-speedrunning.
●Beforestartingtheengine,openthemainneedleapprox.2turnsfromfullyclosed.
●Starttheengine(usingastarterisrecommendedforsafety).
●Runfor15~20secondsatlowspeedtowarmup.
●Openthrottlegraduallyuptofull.InthemeantimeturnthemainneedleCCW.Continuetoturnthe

◇Needlereferenceposition(Setafterinitialbreak-in)
●Starttheengineafteradjustingtheneedletothefollowingreferencevalue.
●Mainneedle：Approx.1+1/2turnsCCWfromfullyclosed
●Slowneedle：Approx.7turnsCCWfromfullyclosed(Thenthrottlevalve

●Actually,thebestpositionoftheneedlesvarydependingontheprop,
temperature,humidityandsoon.Pleaseadjustasnecessaryafterobserving
theengineperformanceduringflight.
◇Peakadjustment
●Afterstartingtheengine,warmupforapprox.30secondsatlowspeed.
●Achievethepeakatfullthrottle.
→TurnthemainneedleCWgraduallytothepositionwheretheRPMisgreatest(thepeak).ContinuingtoturntheneedleCWpastthepeak
couldleadtoseizuresoturnitslowlyandcarefully.IftheRPMsuddenlydecreasesafterpassingthepeak,instantlyturnthemainneedle
CCWtoagainincreasetheRPM.Otherwiseitcoulddamagetheengineseriously.
●OnceachievingpeakRPM,returnthethrottletolowspeed.Makeanoteofthepositionofmainneedleatthepeakatthattime.(Howmany
turnsyoudidCWbasedonthereferencevalue.)
◇SlowneedleAdjustment
●AfterachievingpeakRPM,nextisslowneedleadjustment.OpenthethrottlefromlowRPMtofullthrottlequickly.
●IftheenginehesitatesforamomentorstallsbeforetheenginereachesmaxRPM,Itʼsbecausethemixtureistoolean.Thenturntheslow
needleCCWslightly.
●IftheengineisslowtoreachpeakRPM(fullthrottleset),itʼsbecausethemixtureistoorich.ThenturntheslowneedleCWslightly.
●AdjusttheslowneedleasaboveuntiltheRPMfollowsthethrottlemovementsmoothly.Theimportantpointistoadjusttheslowneedle
AFTERthemainneedlehasbeenadjustedtoitspeak.
●Nowbreak-inatgroundlevelisdone.Adjusttappetsbythemethoddescribedlater.
◇Pre-flight/Flightadjustment
●Whentheslowneedleadjustmentisdone,checktheresponsebyrevvingupfromlowspeedtofullthrottlequicklyseveraltimes.
●OpenthethrottlefullyandturnthemainneedleCCW4~6clicksfromthepeakposition.Thisistomakethefuelmixturericherintheair
wheretheRPMgethigherthanontheground.
●Afteralladjustmentsaremade,flyyouraircraftandfinetunetheengineaccordingtothesituation.Basicallytuningshouldbedonewiththe
