Default Jet Central Rhino

Hi Everyone
I just recieved my Rhino back from it's 25 hour maintenance and i was going through all the setup screens making sure that everything is set right. I noticed on the "Pump Pw ignit.K page it was set at +3 in large numbers. The manual says the number should be between 000 and 255. Does anyone know what the number should be set at from the factory? Also what do these numbers mean? The manual says if the number is too low that it will probably get the fuel ignited but it will not raise the temperature enough to trigger the preheat. What happens if the number is too high? Thanks for any help you can share

My Rhino SP with PowerPak was set to 24
Too high can cause excessive flames

Hi Melvin

I know w e spoke on the phone today about this and I explain if you have any further questions please feel free to give me a call. This setting controls the amount of fuel for starting. The higher the number you get more fuel which can cause flames. The manual for our Turbines are in the process of being updated.

Thanks for the info !! I'm going to set mine at 24 also and see if it starts ok at that setting! Mine is set at +3 as of now and i have figured out that if you hit the down arrow key it will go to +2 then +1 then to 255 254 253 and so on. Mine must have been set way to high in my opinion, if yours is at 24. Is this a start up parameter only? Also my turbine is not the SP version! Do you think that would make a difference on the 24 setting? Thanks for all the help and info guys
