7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. In this case, see a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended
for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack observe correct polarity
(observe plus/+ and minus/-).
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable
batteries) from the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge the NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge
due to self-discharge, which renders the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable
batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and
manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• When dealing with LiPo rechargeable batteries, observe the specific safety information of the manufacturer!
8. Assembling the Model
Before assembling the model, please read each individual section carefully. The construction stages are
almost always illustrated for better understanding.
Please note that the numbers in the text always refer to the components in the illustration to the right.
For design and colour of your model, use the illustration, e.g. on the packaging for reference. Design and
colour deviations in these operating instructions are possible. The figures in these operating instructions
service illustrative purposes only.
Only carry out the steps described in the different sections if you have completely understood the procedure
and know exactly what to observe.
The model is suitable both for a combustion engine and for a strong electrical drive with 4 LiPo cells. Install
at your own discretion to match the motor you use.
Required accessories are not included with the kit and must be purchased separately according to the drive
used. For notes on recommended motor sizes, see chapter „Technical Data" at the end of these operating
instructions.
