The manual suggests a fuel containing 10-30% nitromethane, with 20% recommended as a starting point.
The engine must be run only in an open area because it exhausts deadly carbon monoxide.
The wearing of safety glasses is strongly recommended, and users should not touch the engine until it has cooled.
Over-priming can cause a hydraulic lock and damage the engine; the glowplug should be removed and the starter used to pump out surplus fuel.
