E-flite Cessna 182/Park 400 BL Motor Combo User Manual
Page 3
Operating Instructions:
1. This brushless motor requires the use of a sensorless brushless speed control. Failure to use the correct
speed control may result in damage to the motor and/or speed control.
2. When mounting the motor, be sure the correct length of screws are used so damage to the inside of the motor
will not occur. We suggest you use the mounting hardware included with your motor. The use of long screws
will damage the motor.
3. You may connect the three motor wires directly to the controller with solder or use connectors such as gold
plated brushless bullet connectors (EFLA243), which will also need to be soldered properly to your wires. The
three motor wires can be connected in any order to the three output wires or output port on a sensorless
brushless speed control. Be sure to use heat shrink tubing to properly insulate the wires so the wires will not
short. Shorting may damage the motor and speed control.
4. If you add connectors and or you no longer wish to use them, never cut the motor wires. Remove them by
properly de-soldering them. Shortening the motor wires is considered an improper modification of the motor
and may cause the motor to fail.
5. When you connect the motor to the esc, check the rotation direction of the motor. If you find the rotation is
reversed, switching any two motor wires will reverse the direction so the motor rotates properly.
6. Proper cooling of the motor is very important during operation. New technology has brought much higher
capacity batteries with higher discharge rates, which can cause extreme motor temperatures during operation.
It is the responsibility of the user to monitor the temperature and prevent overheating. Overheating of the
motor is not covered under any warranty.
7. You can install the propeller on the motor shaft after you have confirmed proper rotation direction. Also
consult the instruction included with your sensorless electronic speed control for proper adjustments and
timing.
8. Once the battery is connected to the motor, please use extreme caution. Stay clear of the propeller during
operation. Spinning propellers are very dangerous as the motors produce high amounts of torque.
9. Never disassemble the motor. This will void any warranty.
Motor Safety Precautions:
The Outrunner motor case is a rotating part so use extreme caution. Please read the warning information
included with your propellers for safety information related to the operation of motors with propellers. Failure to comply
with these warnings and/or improper use of propellers may result in serious injury.
