Starting the Engine

Although running-in on a stand („bench top“) is not necessary for KAVAN engines, such a short test run can still be useful for getting familiar with the starting and operating of the engine. The engine should be mounted to a solid hardwood or plywood test bed with a U-shaped cut-out corresponding in width to the width of the engine crankcase between the mounting lugs. Use steel bolts at least 25 mm long with washers and locking nuts. The screw thread always corresponds to the maximum diameter of the bolt that can be threaded through the holes in the engine lugs. The test bed should be fixed to the workbench as tightly as possible. Always leave enough free space for the propeller. Ensure good access to the needles, glow plug, etc. Clean up around the engine so that small objects cannot get into the propeller due to vibrations or blown by the air flow from the propeller.
