The operation of any
model turbine engine requires great care and understanding.
Never operate a Jet Turbine without a suitable C02 Fire Extinguisher.
Graupner JetCat Turbines require Propane/Butane Gas and paraffin/JetA1
fuel. The storage of these highly flammable substances should be carefully
considered.
When you prepare to operate the Turbine ensure the area available is suitable-Never
operate indoors or under cover.
Keep people or animals away from either end of the turbine during start
up and operation-read the recommendations outlined in the manual.
Remove the gas valve top from the propane/butane canister when not in
use to avoid accidental opening of the valve while in storage. With version
4 ECU’s it’s possible to program the turbine to dump the gas
into the engine after each start to reduce the fire risk in the event
of a crash.
Keep loose items away from the Turbine inlet during operation-The suction
produced is incredibly high.
Do not touch the tail cone of the turbine after a run even if the cooling
process has finished.
Do not look into the turbines exhaust during start up
