in the cylinder head and tight. If they're not already preinstalled, install them now.
q Lift
the fuel tank lid and carefully ll the fuel tank until the fuel level is just below the
top of the fuel tank.
WARNING: Use fuel that is appropriate for nitro car engines. Do not use gasoline/petrol
for R
/C nitro car engines that contains no more than 20% nitromethane.
An XTM Racing # 4 'medium' heat-range glow plug is included with your engine. We suggest having a couple of extra glow plugs handy,
because it can be expected that glow plugs will wear out quickly during the engine's break-in process. This glow plug will suit most users during
the break-in process, although you may or may not need to change to a different type of glow plug after the break-in process is complete.
There are a variety of different heat range glow plugs to suit your engine. Typically, use a hotter
glow plug if you're using 15% ~ 20% nitro fuel or are running in cooler ambient temperatures.
Hotter glow plugs typically improve idle and transition, too. Use a cooler glow plug if you're running
25% ~ 30% nitro fuel or are running in higher ambient temperatures. SE

FUELING AND STARTING THE XTM RACING 24.7 NITRO ENGINE
If at any time the pull-starter becomes very tight or difcult to pull - STOP! The engine has become ooded and the excess fuel must
be removed from the engine or damage to the pull-starter and/or engine could occur. To remove the excess fuel from the engine
follow the procedures listed below:
l
Completely close the high speed needle valve (turn clockwise) until it bottoms out. Do this gently. Don't force it!
l
Remove the glow plug and its washer from the cylinder head.
l
With a rag over the top of the engine, pull the pull-starter cord several times to expel the excess fuel from the engine.
l
Check to make sure that the glow plug has not been fouled, then reinstall it and its washer.
l
Reset the high speed needle valve 3 full turns out from bottom (fully closed).
WARNING!! PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE STARTING YOUR ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME!!
WARNING: Under no circumstances should you operate the engine without the air lter installed on the carburettor. The air lter
prevents dust and debris from entering the engine and damaging it.
installed, the engine will be quickly damaged and require replacement of the piston and sleeve (liner).
q Prime the engine by rst opening the throttle completely and covering the exhaust
opening in the tuned pipe with your nger, then, pull the pull-starter cord several
times until you see fuel just start to enter the carburettor through the fuel line.
IMPORTANT: Do not pull the pull-starter cord all the way out or damage to the pull-starter
will occur. Use a couple of short pulls - about 18~20cm / 7~8" long.
q Remove your nger from the exhaust opening and close the throttle down to the
idle position.
q While
holding the XST 4WD Truggy RTR rmly with one hand (keeping your hand
clear of any moving parts), carefully pull on the pull-starter cord 3 times, using short,
quick pulls to check for a ooded condition.
IMPORTANT: If you can't turn the engine over using the pull-starter, don't force it.
The engine is ooded. See the warning and resolution at the top of this page.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you place the chassis on a dedicated car stand or similar so that all four wheels are suspended off the
ground. This ensures that your XST 4WD Truggy RTR does not accidentally drive away when starting the engine if the idle setting is too high.
