b) Setup
• The manual for the remote control system is included separately. Always follow all the safety information
as well as all other information!
• Only use suitable batteries for the vehicle. Never power the speed controller with a power adapter, even
for test purposes.
• This vehicle is only suitable for use with a 6-cell NiMH battery (nominal voltage 7.2 V) or a 2-cell LiPo
battery (nominal voltage 7.4 V).
Using a drive battery with more cells may make the speed controller overheat and cause a fire. In addi-
tion, the powertrain may be damaged due to overload which will void the warranty/guarantee!
• Always switch on the remote control before connecting the vehicle battery and switching on the speed
controller, otherwise the vehicle may react unexpectedly!
Proceed as follows:
- Before connecting the battery, place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can move
freely.
- Switch off the speed controller.
- Switch on the remote control and check that it functions correctly (e.g. the display turns on).
- On the remote control, set the trim for the throttle/brake function to the central position.
- Connect a fully-charged vehicle battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
- Turn on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed a self-
test.
- Check that the vehicle reacts to the remote control commands as expected (steering and throttle)
before removing it from the support and placing the wheels on the ground.
c) Driving the vehicle
• Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Only use the vehicle when it is within
your sight. Do not use the vehicle at night.
• Only use the vehicle when you are fully alert and able to respond. As is the case when driving a real
vehicle, fatigue, alcohol or medications can affect your ability to respond.
• This model vehicle must not be used on public roads, spaces or paths. Do not use the vehicle on private
land without the landowner's permission.
• Do not drive towards people or animals!
• Avoid driving in very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose their elasticity in cold temperatures.
This can result in serious damage even after a minor accident.
• Do not use the vehicle during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or next to radio masts.
• Always leave the remote control turned on when the vehicle is in use.
• When you have finished using the vehicle, switch off the speed controller and fully disconnect the battery
from the speed controller.
Then switch off the remote control.
