.1 Preparation

> Check with your insurance provider, whether the use of a radio-controlled model is covered by the insurance.
> If you do not have any experience in controlling RC models, first familiarise yourself with the responses to the control
commands on the stationary model. You can contact an experienced model-sports enthusiast or a modelling club. Seek the
support of an experienced pilot.
> Before commissioning the remote control and the model, check for functional safety and visible damage such as faulty
connections or damaged cables. All the moving parts have to operate smoothly, but without bearing play.
> Check all the screw connections and plug connections, wheel lugs and electrical contacts to be sure they are tight, because
they can become loose or undone during transport, when running and when minor accidents occur.
> Fasten excess lengths of cable such that they cannot get into any moving/turning parts. No lines must get bent either.
> Make sure that all the rechargeable batteries are fully charged.
> Follow the separate operating instructions of accessories.

. Radio remote control unit

> Stick to the switch-on sequence:
• Accelerator/brake lever in idle position,
• Control lever in neutral position,
• First switch on the transmitter and then switch on the model.
Otherwise, the model may show unpredictable reactions!
> Place the model for starting in such a way that the wheels and the drive motor can rotate freely.
> Check the range of your remote control before starting the model.
> Check the response of the servos to the remote control signals on the stationary model.
> Make sure that the batteries/rechargeable batteries of the transmitter and receiver are fully charged!
> Weak rechargeable batteries (or batteries) reduce the range of the transmitter and lead to errors in the signal transmission
to the receiver. Therefore, the model may no longer respond properly to the remote control. Stop operating immediately
and replace the batteries with new ones or charge the rechargeable batteries again.
> Do not drive near high-voltage power lines or radio towers or during a thunderstorm. Electric fields and statics can affect
the signals from your remote control transmitter.
> After operation, turn off the model first and then the transmitter.
> For safety and licensing reasons (CE), unauthorised attempts to repair and rebuild and/or modify the system are inadmissib-
le. Otherwise, the CE approval will no longer apply.

. Driving operation

Do not drive if your ability to respond is restricted (e.g. due to fatigue, medications or alcohol influence). Impro-
per operation can cause serious injury to persons and damage to property.
Do not drive if you have the slightest doubt about the proper functioning and technical condition of your mo-
del / your remote control set.
> Connect the drive motor of electric models only after the receiver system has been completely installed, otherwise the drive
motor may start suddenly on its own.
> Always maintain direct eye contact with the model.
