If you want to run the engine with a battery instead of magneto, loosen locknut "P" and tighten the adjusting screw "E" (Figure 9, page 15) until the igniter points are separated about the thickness of a post card, then tighten the locknut "P."

    When attaching battery, use a make and break spark coil connected between the battery and the engine and use a switch so you can shut off the current. Attach the wire that comes from the coil to the terminal on the igniter (Figure 12) and the other wire to the bracket bolt under the magneto. Do not take off the magneto.

CARE OF MAGNETO.

    The magneto, being a mechanical device, requires the same attention regarding lubrication as does the engine itself. The two main bearings of the magneto have wick oilers fed from reservoirs that should be filled with sewing machine or cream separator oil once every two weeks. Oil trip roller frequently and the four spring roller pins whenever you use the engine.

    Use very light oil on the, magneto and igniter, and if electrode should stick clean it with kerosene. Igniter points may be cleaned without removing the igniter by sliding the movable electrode back and forth from the outside.

    Never remove the magnets from the magneto, as they will immediately lose much of their strength; and do not take the magneto apart. It contains absolutely no brushes or rubbing contacts of any kind, so there is nothing inside that can get out of order. We do not guarantee the magneto if you take it apart. If you think there is anything wrong, write us.
