Move the throttle/brake lever on the remote control very carefully and drive slowly until you are familiar with
how the vehicle responds to the remote control. Do not make sudden adjustments to the remote control
levers.
Never point the remote control antenna directly to the vehicle, as this greatly reduces the range. The great-
est range is obtained when the remote control and vehicle antennas are upright and parallel to each other.
If the vehicle shows a tendency to move to one side, adjust the steering trim on the remote control accord-
ingly.
When switching from forwards to reverse throttle, the throttle/brake lever must be placed in the neutral
position for approximately one second (neutral position = release the lever and leave it in place). Pulling
the throttle/brake lever from forwards to reverse without a pause will activate the brakes (the vehicle will
not reverse).
Discontinue use immediately if the vehicle does not respond as expected, or if the vehicle stops responding
to the remote control. This behaviour could be caused by weak drive rechargeable batteries, low batteries/
rechargeable batteries in the transmitter or too great a distance between the vehicle and the transmitter.
A coiled/damaged receiver aerial, disturbances on the radio channel used (e.g. other models, radio trans-
missions from other devices, Bluetooth
be a cause of unusual vehicle responses.
Before replacing the two empty drive rechargeable batteries with two fully charged drive rechargeable bat-
teries and resuming the drive, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes for the engine and the speed controller to cool
down sufficiently.
j) Stopping the vehicle
To stop the vehicle, proceed as follows:
• Release the throttle/brake lever on the remote control so that it is in the neutral position, and then let the vehicle
coast to a standstill.
• Wait until the vehicle has stopped, and then switch off the speed controller (move the switch to the "OFF" position).
Do not reach into the wheels or drive components or move the throttle/brake lever on the remote control.
Do not hold the vehicle by the wheels!
Attention!
The engine, speed controller and drive rechargeable batteries become very hot during operation! Do not
touch these parts immediately after use – burn hazard!
• Disconnect the two drive rechargeable batteries from the speed controller. Completely loosen the plug connections.
• Then switch off the remote control.
