RMS™ 24/60 RMS™ 24/60 RMS™ 24/60 RMS™ 24/60 RMS™ 24/60 Assembly and Operation Instructions Assembly and Operation InstructionsREAD THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

•Study the illustrations and sequence of assembly.THE SEQUENCEOF ASSEMBLY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. READ ALLINSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE. USE RMS MOTORS ANDRELOAD KITS ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALLINSTRUCTIONS. Review the parts list and become familiar with allparts before assembly. IF ANY PARTS ARE MISSING ORDAMAGED, CONTACT RCS AT 1-435-865-7100 OR EMAIL atwarranty@aerotech-rocketry.com.

•DO NOT USE ANY PARTS OF THE RMS SYSTEM THAT AREDAMAGED IN ANY WAY. If in doubt, contact RCS at the numberabove for assistance.

•DO NOT MODIFY THE MOTOR IN ANY WAY. Modification of themotor casing or the reload kit parts could result in motor failure, leadto the destruction of both your rocket and motor and may causepersonal injury, death and/or property damage. Modification of themotor or reload kit in any way will invalidate your motor warranty.

•USE ONLY AEROTECH/RCS RMS MOTOR KITS AND MOTORPARTS TO LOAD AN RMS MOTOR CASING. The AeroTech/RCSreload kits have been designed specifically for use in your particularAeroTech/RCS RMS motor. Use of imitation components maydestroy your motor, rocket and payload and will invalidate your motorwarranty. Only use AeroTech/RCS RMS reload kits intended foryour specific AeroTech/RCS RMS motor. DO NOT INTERCHANGEPARTS! Do not use AeroTech/RCS RMS reload kits or motorcomponents for any other purpose than to load an AeroTech/RCSRMS motor.

•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUSE ANY OF THE PARTS OF THE RMSRELOAD KIT. This includes the liner, nozzle and o-rings. Thesecomponents have been designed for one use only and must bediscarded after firing. Reuse can result in motor failure duringsubsequent operation and will invalidate your motor warranty.

•Motors are hot after firing. If necessary to handle a motor before it hascooled down, use a rag or similar article.

•Read and follow the safety code of the National Association ofRocketry (NAR) and comply with all federal, state and local laws inall activities involving model rockets.

Chapter 1. Forward Closure Assembly

Chapter 2. Case Assembly2-1.Fig.-4: Insert the propellant grain(s) into the liner (1

grain if slotted, 2 grains if cored).

2-2.Fig.-5: Insert the liner assembly into the motor caseuntil it is recessed equally from both ends of the case.Hold the liner assembly in place with your finger.

2-3.Fig.-5: Place the forward insulator (black fiber washer)into the motor case, seated against the liner assembly.

2-4.Fig.-5: Place the greased 13/16" O.D. X 1/16" thickforward o-ring against the forward insulator.

2-5.Fig.-6: Thread the forward closure into the same end ofthe motor case by hand until it stops against the case.

2-6.Fig.-7: Insert the nozzle into the open end of the motorcase until the large diameter end is seated against theliner tube.

2-7.Fig.-7: Place the greased 13/16" O.D. X 1/16" thick afto-ring into the groove between the nozzle and the case.

2-8.Fig.-8: Thread the aft closure into the motor by handuntil it stops against the end of the case. The AeroTechRMS aft closure wrench, a rag or a paper towel may beused to get a better grip on the closure.

3-1.Fig.-11: Hold the ejection charge container/nozzle capassembly with the nozzle cap (the wider plastic cap)pointing up. CAREFULLY remove the nozzle cap fromthe ejection charge container. Holding the motor in avertical position with the FORWARD closure pointingdown, snap the ejection charge container over thematching end of the FORWARD closure. WARNING:DO NOT LOOSEN THE FORWARD CLOSURE ONCETHE EJECTION CHARGE CONTAINER HAS BEENSNAPPED INTO POSITION. Loosening the forwardclosure may cause ejection charge material to leakunder the delay o-ring and can lead to seal failure.

3-1.With the motor held in a NOZZLE DOWN position,gently shake the motor several times to settle theejection charge into the cavity above the delay element.NOTE: If it becomes necessary to remove the AFTclosure to replace the igniter due to misfire, hold themotor in a nozzle-up position and avoid moving the linerassembly in the case during the operation.

1-1.Select one each of the reload parts and reclose thereload kit package securely to prevent loss of parts.

1-2.Apply a light coat of Super-Lube or other grease to the3 o-rings and all threaded surfaces. This will facilitateassembly and prevents the threads from seizing.

1-3.Using your fingernail or a blunt object, remove the burr(rough raised edge) from both inside and outside endsof the delay insulator tube by pressing or scraping androtating the tube at the same time.

1-4.Fig.-1: If supplied with the reload kit, press the delayspacer into one end of the delay insulator tube untilFLUSH with one end of the tube.

1-5.Fig.-1: Press the delay element into the other end of thedelay insulator tube until FLUSH with the other end ofthe tube.

1-6.Fig.-2: Place the greased 5/8" O.D. X 3/32" thick delayo-ring in the forward closure, seated against the forwardend of the delay cavity.

1-7.Fig.-3: Insert the delay charge assembly into the delaycavity until it is seated against the delay o-ring. WARN-ING: FAILURE TO INSTALL THE DELAY ASSEM-BLY EXACTLY AS SHOWN MAY RESULT IN FOR-WARD CLOSURE FAILURE, POSSIBLY DAMAG-ING YOUR MOTOR AND ROCKET!
