Yamaha RMAX Type II G Unit Operation Manual page 75

5 Stand on the left side of the helicopter, and while
securely supporting the main rotor, keep the
throttle stick at the slowest position with your
right thumb, and press the starter switch with
your left hand.
Support the main rotor with your body as
shown in the illustration. Otherwise, the rotor
could strike and injure you if the helicopter is
improperly adjusted (such as the idle speed
being too high or the clutch being engaged).
TIP
G If the engine does not start within 5 sec-
onds after pressing the starter switch, wait
about 10 seconds to allow the battery volt-
age to recover. Then, press the starter
switch again.
G The safety device will trip and prevent the
starter motor from operating if any of the
following conditions have not been met:
• Main switch is in the START position.
• The power switch of transmitter is ON.
• The throttle stick of the transmitter is in
the slowest position.
6 After the engine has started, return the decom-
pression lever and the starter lever to their origi-
nal position.
G Failure to return the decompression lever
to its original position will decrease engine
performance, which could lead to an acci-
dent.
G Failure to return the starter lever will pre-
vent the engine speed from increasing,
cause the spark plugs to become fouled,
the engine to stop during flight, and lead
to an accident.
