1.1 GENERAL WARNINGS
• SKY ENGINES shall not be directly or indirectly liable for the use of the engine, especially if it is
altered or tampered with by third parties.
• MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL to avoid severely damaging the engine. Therefore, we
advise you to CAREFULLY read Chapter 4.0 of this manual and thoroughly follow all the
instructions. For information on damaged spare parts, see paragraph 3.3, which illustrates the
assembly procedures for all the secondary components that tend to deteriorate in time.
• SKY ENGINES shall not be liable for damages caused by an inaccurate maintenance or
incorrect assembly, except for the replacement of components covered by the warranty.
• The engine has a maximum capacity of 90-120 Kg, which means that it is able to transport a
person with a maximum body weight within these parameters. The use of the engine to transport
heavier weights may cause problems to the trimming.
• It is advisable to perform all the inspections required in order to verify that the engine is safe and
in good working order before flying.
• Technical alterations made by the user, though permitted, are full responsibility of the user.
Spare parts used for said alterations shall not be covered by warranty.
• Alterations carried out by the user or the removal of original spare parts may jeopardize the
safety of the engine..
• SKY ENGINES reserves the right to change models and/or catalogues without warning

and without any whatsoever obligation. Further information is provided on Web site
www.skyengines.com
• Aircraft driven by this engine must be used in open spaces only and in areas

1.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS
As the use of this engine can be very dangerous, it is important to adopt all the necessary
precautions both during, before and after the flight in order to avoid severe accidents.
We advise you to follow the general precautions illustrated below in order to avoid damages or
accidents.
• As the engine does not solve all flying problems, it is important to avoid risky moves. One of the
most common mistakes is flying above areas that do not allow you to land at very low heights. It is
always important not to underestimate the possibility of faults and the need of having to make an
emergency landing.
• Always take into account that the lack of thrust of the engine may affect the flight stability.
- Pay particular attention to swinging movements caused by the change of trimming that cause
falls of 4-5 meters.
- As the engine could switch off at any time, it is important to make sure you are able to perform an
emergency landing if required.
• ALWAYS avoid flying above water for your own safety and in order not to damage the engine.

° Only use100% BARDAHL KTS synthetic
oil.

A good breaking-in ensures a long life of the engine and enhances the performance of its
components.
Use the engine very carefully during the first 3 hours of flight.
Do not use the engine at maximum power for extended intervals of time.
Do not keep the accelerator in the same position for several seconds; in this case it is
preferable to open and close the accelerator without increasing the elevation in order
not to force the engine
Use the engine for 10 minutes at a time, then allow it to cool.
Repeat the same operations every time you check the engine.
